The thigh is the femur and the femoral region. Popliteus&colon; originates on the lateral condyle of the femur and inserts on the tibia. The tendon inserts on the greater trochanter of the proximal femur. It passes behind the medial condyle of the femur to end in a tendon. He also suffered a broken femur, broken pelvis, and multiple fractured vertebrae. A hip dislocation is a disruption of the joint between the femur and pelvis. In conjunction with the femur, the humerus suggests arboreal quadrupedalism. Semimembranosus&colon; originates on the ischiatic tuberosity and inserts on the femur and tibia. Less common are fractures to the femur, pelvis, and sacrum. The tibia is 15%-25% longer than the femur. The femur or thigh bone turns inward when walking. The patellofemoral joint refers to junction where the femur and patella meet. The two basal segments preceding the femur are the coxa and trochanter. The lower extremity of the femur (or distal extremity) is larger than the upper extremity. The ACL originates from deep within the notch of the distal femur.
