The outlet of the pelvic canal is formed ventrally by the pubis, laterally by the ischiatic arch, and dorsally by the third or fourth caudal vertebra. Pelvic Limb. The bones of the pelvic limb are the femur, patella, tibia, fibula, tarsals, metatarsals and phalanges. The femur, os femoris (Figs. 2-38 and 2-39), is the bone of the thigh. It has a head and neck prox- imally, a body, and two condyles distally. The fe- mur articulates proximally with the pelvis and dis- tally with the tibia and patella. The rounded head, caput ossis femoris, connects to the body by a distinct neck, collum ossis Fig. 2-39. Left femur, caudal view and fabellae. 1 head, 2 fovea of the head, 3 neck, 4 minor trochanter, 5 articular facet for medial fabella, 6 medial fabella, 7 medial condyle, 8 intercondylar fossa, 9 lateral condyle, 10 lateral fabella, 1 1 articular facet for lateral fabella, 12 shaft, 13 third tro- chanter, 14 intertrochanteric fossa, 15 major trochanter. The head has a small, indented area, fovea capitis, for the attachment of its ligament. The proximal end of the body is flattened craniocaudally. Later- ally, it bears a large major trochanter, trochantor major, medially a smaller minor trochanter, tro- chantor minor, and a small third trochanter, tro- chanter tertius, just distal to the major trochanter. The caudal surface of the major trochanter has a deep fossa, fossa trochanterica. Distally the sh
