Medial epicondyle of the femur


The medial epicondyle of the femur is a bony protrusion located on the medial side of the bone's distal end.
Located above the medial condyle, it bears an elevation, the adductor tubercle, which serves for the attachment of the superficial part, or "tendinous insertion", of the adductor magnus. This tendinous part here forms an intermuscular septum which forms the medial separation between the thigh's flexors and extensors.<ref name="Platzer-242
