Qué (quién) es external condyle of femur - definición

Medial condyle of the femur; Condylus medialis femoris

Medial condyle of femur         
The medial condyle is one of the two projections on the lower extremity of femur, the other being the lateral condyle.
Lower extremity of femur         
LOWER END OF THE THIGH BONE IN HUMAN AND OTHER ANIMALS
Lower end of femur; Femoral condyle; Extremitas distalis ossis femoris; Lower extremity of the femur; Distal extremity of femur; Distal extremity of the femur
The lower extremity of femur (or distal extremity) is the lower end of the femur (thigh bone) in human and other animals, closer to the knee. It is larger than the upper extremity of femur, is somewhat cuboid in form, but its transverse diameter is greater than its antero-posterior; it consists of two oblong eminences known as the lateral condyle and medial condyle.
Upper extremity of femur         
The upper extremity, proximal extremity or superior epiphysis of the femur is the part of the femur closest to the pelvic bone and the trunk. It contains the following structures:

Medial condyle of femur

The medial condyle is one of the two projections on the lower extremity of femur, the other being the lateral condyle.

The medial condyle is larger than the lateral (outer) condyle due to more weight bearing caused by the centre of mass being medial to the knee. On the posterior surface of the condyle the linea aspera (a ridge with two lips: medial and lateral; running down the posterior shaft of the femur) turns into the medial and lateral supracondylar ridges, respectively. The outermost protrusion on the medial surface of the medial condyle is referred to as the "medial epicondyle" and can be palpated by running fingers medially from the patella with the knee in flexion. It is important to take into consideration the difference in the length of the condyles in a cross section to better understand the geometry of the knee. The medial femoral condyle has an extra segment which is the cause for the passive rotation of the knee joint.
