About the junction of the upper one-third and lower two-thirds on the intertrochanteric crest is the quadrate tubercle located.
2.
Just like the intertrochanteric crest on the posterior side of the femoral head, the intertrochanteric line marks the transition between the femoral neck and shaft.
3.
As a consequence, the capsule of the hip joint attaches in the region of the intertrochanteric line on the anterior side, but a finger away from the intertrochanteric crest on the posterior side of the head.
4.
The posterior surface is smooth, and is broader and more concave than the anterior : the posterior part of the capsule of the hip-joint is attached to it about 1 cm . above the intertrochanteric crest.
5.
A slight ridge is sometimes seen commencing about the middle of the intertrochanteric crest, and reaching vertically downward for about 5 cm . along the back part of the body : it is called the linea quadrata ( or quadrate line ).
6.
The size of the tubercle varies and it is not always located on the intertrochanteric crest and that also adjacent areas can be part of the quadrate tubercel, such as the posterior surface of the greater trochanter or the neck of the femur.
7.
The size of the tubercle varies and it is not always located on the intertrochanteric crest and that also adjacent areas can be part of the quadrate tubercel, such as the posterior surfare of the greater trochanter or the neck of the femur.
8.
The size of the tubercle varies and it is not alway located on the intertrochanteric crest and that also adjacent areas can be part of the quadrate tubercle, such as the posterior surface of the greater trochanter or the neck of the femur.
9.
It surrounds the neck of the femur, and is attached, in front, to the intertrochanteric line; above, to the base of the neck; behind, to the neck, about 1.25 cm . above the intertrochanteric crest; below, to the lower part of the neck, close to the lesser trochanter.
