Difference between Femur and Lesser trochanter

Femur vs. Lesser trochanter

The femur (pl. femurs or femora) or thigh bone, is the most proximal (closest to the hip joint) bone of the leg in tetrapod vertebrates capable of walking or jumping, such as most land mammals, birds, many reptiles including lizards, and amphibians such as frogs. The lesser trochanter (small trochanter) of the femur is a conical eminence, which varies in size in different subjects.

Similarities between Femur and Lesser trochanter

Femur and Lesser trochanter have 7 things in common (in Unionpedia): Femur neck, Greater trochanter, Iliacus muscle, Intertrochanteric crest, Linea aspera, Psoas major muscle, Third trochanter.

Femur neck

The femur neck (femoral neck or neck of the femur) is a flattened pyramidal process of bone, connecting the femoral head with the femoral shaft, and forming with the latter a wide angle opening medialward.

Intertrochanteric crest

The intertrochanteric crest is a bony ridge located on the posterior side of the head of the femur, stretching obliquely downward and medially from the summit of the greater trochanter to the lesser trochanter.

Linea aspera

The linea aspera (rough line) is a ridge of roughened surface on the posterior surface of the shaft of the femur, to which are attached muscles and intermuscular septum.

Psoas major muscle

The psoas major (from Greek: ψόας - psóās: 'of the loins', genitive singular form of ψόα - psóa 'the loins') is a long fusiform muscle located on the side of the lumbar region of the vertebral column and brim of the lesser pelvis.
