title: Two concepts. I: The third femoral condyle.
abstract: The status of the third femoral condyle, which can be seen in routine radiographs of the knee area, may be a useful adjunct for a clinical interpretation of the stresses incurred by patients with certain types of disabilities. Its status may prove to be a better indicator of the stresses in the components of the knee than the status of the articular surfaces of the femoral condyles.
