femur necklace V | sterling silver
In every step you take, the femur bears the full load of the skeleton. The longest and strongest bone in the human body, it spans from the hip to the knee through a geometry refined for movement under force.
The Anatomy of the Femur
The femur articulates proximally with the acetabulum of the pelvis via the femoral head, and distally with the tibia and patella through medial and lateral condyles. The femoral neck connects head to shaft at an angle of approximately 126 degrees, a geometry that distributes mechanical stress efficiently. The greater and lesser trochanters serve as attachment sites for the gluteus medius, gluteus maximus, iliopsoas, and external rotator muscles. Femoral neck fractures, common in older adults, can trigger serious morbidity and mortality. They remain a major focus in orthopedic surgery and fracture prevention research.
