Aus Dornheim Anatomy
At the lower end the femur is widened to two outwardly curved articular gnarls (condylus medialis and lateralis) covered with cartilage. Together with the tibia (tibia) they form the knee joint. In the front, the gnarls unite to form an outwardly curved joint surface (Facies patellaris). This forms the connection to the kneecap. In addition, the gnarls each have small bony protrusions as an attachment (Epicondylus medialis and Epicondylus lateralis). At the back, a pit (Fossa intercondylaris), limited by the Linea intercondylaris, separates the two joint gnarls from each other.
