In humans the thigh is the area between the pelvis and the knee . Anatomically, it is part of the lower limb . The single bone in the thigh is called the femur . This bone is very thick and strong (due to the high proportion of cortical bone ), and forms a ball and socket joint at the hip , and a condylar joint at the knee.
