DescriptionFemur showing chronic arthritis
This is a left femur from an adult female obtained "from the Crimea, taken from the bottom of the great shaft.”
The femur is well-developed. Around the fovea cap it is femoris and around the articular margin of the head the formation of cbondroosteophytes has left an irregular surface and rim of new bone. Some osteophytic roughening is present on the anterior surface of the neck of the femur. The margin of the distal articular surface is defined by a narrow ridge of bone.
