  2. Femoral neck - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Femoral_neck

    The femoral neck (also femur neck or neck of the femur) is a flattened pyramidal process of bone, connecting the femoral head with the femoral shaft, and forming with the latter a wide angle opening medialward.

  3. Zona orbicularis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zona_orbicularis

    The zona orbicularis and proximal hip joint capsule are poorly understood. Recent studies seem to confirm that the proximal to middle part of the articular capsule, including the zona orbicularis, acts biomechanically as a locking ring wrapped around the femoral neck and thus is a key structure for hip stability in distraction.

  4. Enostosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enostosis

    An enostosis is a small area of compact bone within the cancellous bone. [1] [2] They are commonly seen as an incidental finding on radiographs or CT scans. They are typically very small and do not cause any symptoms. [3] Their radiodensity is generally similar to cortical bone. [4] No treatment is necessary. Multiple enostoses are present in ...

  5. Intertrochanteric line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intertrochanteric_line

    The distal capsular attachment on the femur follows the shape of the irregular rim between the head and the neck. As a consequence, the capsule of the hip joint attaches in the region of the intertrochanteric line on the anterior side, but a finger away from the intertrochanteric crest on the posterior side of the head. [4]

  6. Lesser trochanter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lesser_trochanter

    The lesser trochanter is a conical posteromedial projection of the shaft of the femur, projecting from the posteroinferior aspect of its junction with the femoral neck. [1] The summit and anterior surface of the lesser trochanter are rough, whereas its posterior surface is smooth. [1] From its apex three well-marked borders extend: [2]

  7. Intertrochanteric crest - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intertrochanteric_crest

    The intertrochanteric crest is a prominent smooth bony ridge upon the posterior surface of the femur at the junction of the neck and the shaft of the femur; [1] together with the intertrochanteric line on the anterior side of the head, the intertrochanteric crest marks the transition between the femoral neck and shaft. [2]: 192

  8. Femoroacetabular impingement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Femoroacetabular_impingement

    Degree of bulging of the femoral head-neck junction: In normal conditions there is a symmetric concave contour at the junction of the femoral head and neck. Loss of this concavity or bone bulging may lead to cam type impingement. The degree of this deformity can be measured by the alpha angle.

  9. Hereditary multiple exostoses - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hereditary_multiple_exostoses

    Hereditary multiple osteochondromas (HMO), also known as hereditary multiple exostoses, is a disorder characterized by the development of multiple benign osteocartilaginous masses in relation to the ends of long bones of the lower limbs such as the femurs and tibias and of the upper limbs such as the humeri and forearm bones.
