Fig. 239. — Dorsal Aspect of the Proximal Portion of the Eight Femur with the Attachments of Muscles mapped out. gluteeus medius muscle; proxi- mally and distally to this the surface of the bone is smoother and is overlain by bursas. The ventral surface, somewhat oblong in shape, and inclined obliquely from below upwards and medi- ally, is elevated from the general aspect of the shaft below, from which it is separated in front by an oblique line leading upwards and medially to the tubercle at the proximal end of the superior part of the intertrochanteric line. This surface serves for the insertion of the glutseus mini- mus. The proximal border is curved and elevated; into it are inserted the tendons of the obturator internus and gemelli muscles medially and in front, and the piriformis muscle proxi- inally and dorsally. The dorsal border is thick and rounded, and forms the upper the inter- trochanteric crest. The angle formed by the proximal and dorsal borders is sharp and pointed, and forms the tip of the trochanter overhanging the trochanteric fossa, which lies immediately distal and medial to its medial surface. 16.
