—anteriorly, by the medial border of femur;
—posteriorly, by the linea aspera;
—superiorly, by the intertrochanteric line;
—posterosuperiorly, by the spiral line;
—posteroinferiorly, by the medial supracondylar ridge.
The inferior end of the medial surface of femur is continuous with the medial condyle of femur.
