Knee

Lateral femoral condyle

Condylus lateralis femoris

How to find it

Flex the knee to about 90 degrees. Place your finger lateral to the patellar ligament in the joint line and follow the rim of the condyle proximally. The part right beside the patella cannot be reached.

What you use it for

In a normally aligned leg it carries about forty per cent of the load. In a valgus knee that rises, and that is where the osteoarthritis appears.
