Femur Fracture
The femur bone is also known as the thighbone. It runs from the hip to the knee and is
the longest and strongest bone in the body. It usually requires a great deal of force to
break the femur.
Fractures can happen anywhere on the bone but usualy happen at the points of greatest
stress. These stress points are at the joints and in the center of the bones as seen in
the picture. |
