Illustrations of the upper (right) and lower (left) ends of the right human femur. The upper end shows the head connected to the shaft by the neck. Above and below the neck are two large protuberances, the greater and lesser trochanters to which numerous muscles are attached. At the lower end are seen two convex condyles which articulate with the tibia forming the knee joint. From Sobotta, J. (1904) Atlas der deskriptiven Anatomie des Menschen. Vol 1, Knochen, Bander, Gelenke, und Muskeln. J. F. Lehmann, Munchen (Figs 139, 140).
