The lower end of the |femur| features two prominences called the lateral and medial ~condyles~. These ~condyles~ articulate with the |patella| and the articular surface of the |tibia| to form the hinge-like |knee joint|. The medial ~condyle~ is the inside prominence, resting on the |medial meniscus|, while the outside, or lateral, ~condyle~ rests on the |lateral meniscus|.
