Trochanter Neck Trochanter Medial rough line Lateral _l epicondylc 'i';;.-l— Medial ;' ' epicondyle Trochlea. major Nutrient foramen Lateral rough line Fig. 224.—Kight Femur op Dog; Anterior View. Lateral condyle I nlercondyloid fossa Fig. 225.—Right Femur of Dog; Posterior View. 1, 2, Sesamoid bonfts. The fibula extends the entire length of the region. It is slender, somewhat twisted, and enlarged at either end. The proximal part of the shaft is separated from the tibia by a considerable interosseous space, but the distal part is flattened and closely applied to the tibia. The proximal extremity is flattened and articu- lates with the lateral condyle of the tibia. The distal end is somewhat thicker and forms the lateral malleolus. It articulates medially with the tibia and the tibial tarsal bone. Laterally it bears two tubercles. The patella is long and narrow. The free surface is convex in both direc- tions. The articular surface is convex from side to side and slightly concave from above Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Sisson, Septimus, 1865-1924.
