Key points
- The femur is the long bone of the thigh, extending between the hip and knee.
- Its upper end includes the head, neck and trochanters, while its lower end includes the condyles and patellar surface.
- The femur articulates with the hip bone, tibia and patella, but not with the fibula.
- It transmits body weight and provides attachment sites and leverage for muscles that move the hip and knee.
