	Thigh - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In humans the thigh is the area between the pelvis and buttocks and the knee.
		The single bone in the thigh is called the femur.
		This bone is very thick and strong (due to the high proportion of cortical bone), and forms a ball and socket joint at the hip, and a condylar joint at the knee.

		When the joint where the thigh bone (femur) attaches to the body is reached, gently push the thigh up and towards the breast bone.

	Legg Calve Perthes Disease
		Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease (LCPD) is characterized by degeneration (avascular necrosis) of the upper end of the growing portion of the thigh bone (capital femoral epiphysis) due to an unexplained interruption of the blood supply (ischemia) to this area, resulting in deformity of this part of the thigh bone.
		As the bone regrows and rehardens (reossifies), it may deform, resulting in permanent malformation of the upper thigh bone (e.g., abnormally flattened or unusually enlarged epiphysis).
		In addition, as an affected child ages and regrowth of the epiphysis occurs, physicians must ensure that epiphyseal growth is contained within the cavity of the hip bone (acetabulum) where the thigh bone (femur) and hip normally meet (articulate).

	Upper Leg
		The leg bones are girded on all sides by sets of powerful muscles that allow the legs to bend (flexion) and straighten (extension) as well as move outward from the body (abduction) and inward (adduction).
		It begins superiorly at the level of the greater trochanter of the femur (upper edge of the thigh bone) and ends inferiorly where it inserts in the condyle of the tibia.
		It is wider at its point of origin at the edge of the midsection of the pubic bone and tapers at its insertion in the inside surface of the shaft of the tibia.

		Re: is the thigh bone connected to the shoulder?
		Yes, depending on what theory you use, the thigh bone IS connected to the shoulder, but even though there's problems with both and one might help to cause the other, there's also the possibility that you just have problems with both areas, being independent of each other.

	Thigh bone definition - Medical Dictionary definitions of popular medical terms
		Thigh bone: The thigh bone in anatomy is called the "femur." Whichever term you care to use -- thigh bone or femur, it is the bone in the leg that extends from the hip to the knee.
		The thigh bone/femur constitutes the upper leg, that part of the leg above the knee.
		As compared to the lower leg which boasts two bones (the tibia and the fibula), the upper leg has only one bone, the femur, but a very large bone it is, the largest in the human body.
