femur (upper end (greater trochanter (1.piriformis (inserts into the apex)…

- - - - inserts into the apex
    - - inserts into the rough
        lateral part of anterior surface
    - - inserts into theupper rough impression on medialsurface
    - - inserted into the
        trochanteric fossa
    - - inserted into the
        ridge on the lateral surface
        
        the trochanteric bursa
        of gluteus max lies behind
        the ridge
  - - - apex & medial part of
        anterior surface
    - - anterior surface of
        base of trochanter
        & area below it
    - - bursa that lies
        deep to the upper horizontal fibers
        of adductor magnus
- - - - has distinct
        medial & lateral lips
    - - medial
        lateral
        posterior
    - - anterior
        medial
        lateral
  - - - to form 4 borders
        medial
        lateral
        spiral
        lateral lip
        of gluteal tuberosity
    - - broad roughened ridge
        on lateral part of
        posterior surtace
  - - - medial
        lateral
        medial supracondylar line
        lateral supracondylar line
    - - anterior
        medial
        lateral
        popliteal
    - - anteriorly
        
        the 2 condyles are
        united & are in line
        with the front of the shaft
      - posteriorly
        
        they are seperated
        by a deep gap- the
        intercondylar fossa/notch
      - lateral condyle
        
        is flat laterally & more in line with the shaft
        
        so it takes greater part in transmission of
        body weight to tibia
        
        is less prominent than the medial condyle,
        but is stouter & stronger
        
        lateral epicondyle
        
        the popliteal groove
        just below the epicondyle
        
        a muscular impression ???
      - medial condyle
        
        convex medially
        
        the medial epicondyle
        
        posterosuperior-the adductor tubercle
        
        the epiphyseal line
        passes through it.
