- Synopsis
- This image shows the bones of the human leg seen from the front. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up. The right leg is on the left and the left leg is on the right of the page. The thigh bone is at the top of the page and the feet are at the bottom of the page. The thigh long bone (femur) of the right leg fills the top left of the page. At the top right of it is the rounded ball where the leg fits into a socket in the pelvis to make the hip joint. At the bottom end of the bone the round kneecap (patella) lies above the knee joint. Down from the thigh bone the lower leg is made of two long bones lying next to each other. The larger tibia is to the right and the smaller, narrower fibula is to the left. The bones of the foot are at the bottom of the page with the little toe on the left and the big toe on the right. The left leg is a reflection of this shown on the right of the page.
