anterior femur
what is the notch between the medial and lateral condyles on the femur
intercondylar fossa/notch
where is the adductor tubercle on femur
medial epicondyle
where is the trochanteric fossa on the femur
between the greater trochanter and neck of femur
what’s in-between the medial and lateral tibial surfaces
on the femur
