articulates with coxal as acetabulum proximally and distally with the tibia at knee. leg fibula (lateral)- small bone that does NOT articulate with femur (not a weight bearing bone). read more
The proximal end of the femur articulates with the acetabulum, which is the socket joint of the pelvis. The acetabulum is formed by the fusion of the three bones which make up the pelvis, the ischium, the ilium and the pubis. The distal end of the femur articulates with the patellae (knee caps) and the tibia. read more
