The intercondylar fossa of femur (intercondyloid fossa of femur, intercondylar notch of femur) is a deep notch between the rear surfaces of the medial and lateral epicondyle of the femur, two protrusions on the distal end of the femur (thigh bone) that joins the knee.
Trochlea of humerus (part of the elbow hinge joint with the ulna) Trochlea of femur (forming the knee hinge joint with the patella) The trochlea tali in the superior surface of the body of talus (part of the ankle hinge joint with the tibia) Trochlear process of the calcaneus; In quadrupeds, the trochlea of Radius (bone)
The medial epicondyle of the femur is an epicondyle, a bony protrusion, located on the medial side of the femur at its distal end. Located above the medial condyle , it bears an elevation, the adductor tubercle , [ 1 ] which serves for the attachment of the superficial part, or "tendinous insertion", of the adductor magnus . [ 2 ]
The accurate adaptation of the trochlea of the humerus, with its prominences and depressions, to the trochlear notch of the ulna, prevents any lateral movement. Flexion in the humeroulnar joint is produced by the action of the biceps brachii and brachialis , [ 3 ] assisted by the brachioradialis , with a tiny contribution from the muscles ...

Although not generally termed condyles, the trochlea and capitulum of the humerus act as condyles in the elbow, and the femur head acts as a condyle in the hip joint. Condyle may also be used to describe an intrusion of the endocarp into the seed cavity of flowering plants like Abuta .
One or two supratrochlear lymph nodes are placed above the medial epicondyle of the humerus, medial to the basilic vein.. Their afferents drain the middle, ring, and little fingers, the medial portion of the hand, and the superficial area over the ulnar side of the forearm; these vessels are, however, in free communication with the other lymphatic vessels of the forearm.
On the posterior surface of the condyle the linea aspera (a ridge with two lips: medial and lateral; running down the posterior shaft of the femur) turns into the medial and lateral supracondylar ridges, respectively. The outermost protrusion on the medial surface of the medial condyle is referred to as the "medial epicondyle" and can be ...
