Description
The medial condyle of femur (medial femoral condyle, internal condyle of femur, or tibial condyle of femur) is the medially located, round, articular eminence on the distal end of the femur. It is one of the two articular condyles of the femur, the other being the lateral condyle.
It contains the medial epicondyle of femur and adductor tubercle, and its lateral aspect contributes to the formation of the intercondylar fossa. It provides an insertion site for the adductor magnus muscle, and attachment sites for the tibial collateral and posterior cruciate ligaments.
The medial condyle of femur articulates with the medial condyle of tibia, via the medial meniscus, forming the medial femorotibial joint. Overall, the medial femorotibial, lateral femorotibial and patellofemoral joints collectively form the knee joint.
