Detailed explanation-1: -What is the femur? The femur is your thigh bone. It’s the longest, strongest bone in your body. It’s a critical part of your ability to stand and move. Your femur also supports lots of important muscles, tendons, ligaments and parts of your circulatory system.

Detailed explanation-2: -The femur acts as the site of origin and attachment of many muscles and ligaments, and can be divided into three parts; proximal, shaft and distal.

Detailed explanation-3: -Femur is Latin for thigh, and the bone is commonly referred to as the “thigh bone.” The end of the thigh bone closest to the heart (proximal end) is called the femoral head. This is the ball part of the ball-and-socket hip joint.

Detailed explanation-4: -The thigh bone (femur) is a long bone. A long bone has a shaft and two ends. Some bones in the fingers are classified as long bones, even though they are short in length. This is due to the shape of the bones, not their size.

Detailed explanation-5: -The word femur is Latin for thigh. Theoretically in strict usage, femur bone is more proper than femur, as in classical Latin femur means “thigh", and os femoris means the bone within it.
