Proximo-digital Dimensions (Length) of the Femur. 



Actual Measurements. 



On the Right Side. 



Distance from the summit of the lateral 

 (larger) trochanter of the femur, To the 

 most proximal point in the circular lateral 

 cavity on the space disjoining the latcro- 

 digital condyle and the lateral margin of 

 the patellar groove 20*22 



Distance from the summit of the lateral 

 (larger) trochanter of the femur, To the 

 digital extremity of the mesial rounded 

 margin of tlie articular surface of the la- 

 tero-digital condyle of the bone . . . 21'12 



Distance from the summit of the lateral 

 (larger) trochanter of the femur. To the 

 digital extremity of the lateral margin of 

 the patellar groove 21 "05 



Distance from the summit of the lateral 

 (larger) trochanter of the femur. To the 

 digital extremity of the mesial margin of 

 the patellar groove 21"10 



Distance from the most digital point on the 

 depression of the proximal surface of the 

 femur uniting the globular articulation 

 with the lateral (larger) trochanter — the 

 cervix, — To the blunt caudo-digital margin 

 of the hollow disjoining the lateral and the 

 mesial condyles at the digital end of the 

 bone , 19-38

On ihe Right Side. 



Distance from the proximal extremity of 

 the slightly elevated lateral margin of the 

 proximal articular surface of the crus, To 

 the digital extremity of the lateral articular 

 margin of the digital end of the bone, at 

 the caudal portion of that margin . . . 17- 



Distance from the summit of the elevated 

 process of the lateral margin of the mesio- 

 proximal articular surface of the cms, for 

 receiving the mesio-digital condyle of the 

 femur, To the digital extremity of the pro- 

 cess of the rostro-digital articular margin 

 of the bone, disjoining the lateral and the 

 mesial curvatures of that margin . . . 19'50j 



Distance from the summit of the elevated 

 process of the mesial margin of the latero- 

 proximal articular surface of the crus, for 

 receiving the latcro-digital condyle of the 

 femur, To the sharp sinuous caudal mar- 

 gin of the articular surface of the digital 

 end, over the caudo-latcral surface of the 

 astragalus 18*55 



Distance from the summit of the elevated 

 process of the lateral margin of the mesio- 

 proximal articular surface of the crus. To 

 the mesio-caudal extremity of the digital 

 articular margin of the bone .... 19-22 



Distance from the mesial margin of the 

 proximal articular surface of the crus. To 

 the rostro-mesial extremity of the digital 

 articular margin of the bone .... 19-28
