The video tutorial by Doctor Morton provides a comprehensive overview of the femur, the principal bone of the thigh. It covers the anatomical landmarks of the femur, including the head, neck, greater and lesser trochanters, intertrochanteric line and crest, gluteal tuberosity, and linea aspera. The tutorial also explains the distal features of the femur, such as the medial and lateral condyles, and their role in forming the knee joint. Additionally, the video discusses the patellar surface and its significance in the knee's anatomy.
