Q

Is this right or left femur and why

Q

Left or right tibia and why?

A

Left tibia because anteriorly you see the tibial tuberosity (under the knee-ish) and because the medial malleolus has to be medial

Q

Is this right or left fibula

A

Right fibula because you can see the malleolar fossa meaning you’re looking at it posteriorly and the lateral malleolus has to be lateral so it has to be right
