The Femur is the longest and strongest bone of the lower limb in which there is a groove present on anterior side and a notch present on posterior side. The anterior groove is called as patella-femoral groove and posterior notch is called Intercondylar (IC) Notch. There are two most important ligaments are connected with notch called Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) and Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL), associated by embryological and cognitive to the notch.The aim of this study is to find out the condylar parameters of femur. We obtained 50 completely ossified dry femur of both sides from Department of Anatomy, SBKSMIRC, Sumandeep Vidyapeeth. The Mean ± SDof femoral parameters were measured and correlation were also calculated between various parameters which is found to be positively correlated.It guides to the anatomists as well as Orthopaedicians and forensic practices also.
