The thigh (femur) is the part of the leg between hip and lower leg. The bony basis is the femur (Os femoris). This tubular bone is filled inside with spongy bone trabeculae (Spongiosa). Thus, a high stability is achieved with a low weight. With age, the proportion of bone trabeculae decreases, which causes the bone to break more quickly.
