Detailed explanation-1: -The knee is the largest weightbearing joint in your body. The distal femur makes up the top part of your knee joint. The upper part of the shinbone (tibia) supports the bottom part of your knee joint. The ends of the femur are covered in a smooth, slippery substance called articular cartilage.
Detailed explanation-2: -The distal femur is defined as the region from the metaphyseal-diaphyseal junction to the articular surface of the knee, involving approximately the distal 15 cm of the femur. The shaft of the femur is a cylindrical shape and extends into two curved condyles at the distal end.
Detailed explanation-3: -The knee is proximal to the foot. Moving distally from the hip brings you to the thigh. The foot is distal to the knee.
