medial epicondyle of femur |
|
| Synonyms |
epicondylus medialis (femur) medial femoral epicondyle epicondylus medialis femoris |
|
| Definitions |
The medial epicondyle of the femur is a bony protrusion located on the medial side of the bone's distal end. Located above the medial condyle, it bears an elevation, the adductor tubercle, which serves for the attachment of the superficial part, or 'tendinous insertion', of the adductor magnus. This tendinous part here forms an intermuscular septum which forms the medial separation between the thigh's flexors and extensors. Behind it, and proximally to the medial condyle is a rough impression which gives origin to the medial head of the Gastrocnemius. |
