The arrow indicates the lesser trochanter of the femur, a small, protruding bony prominence on the femur's medial side. The psoas major and iliacus muscles, collectively known as the iliopsoas, merge to form a single muscle belly. This muscle plays a crucial role in hip flexion and stability. The tendon of the iliopsoas inserts onto the lesser trochanter, allowing for powerful movements such as lifting the thigh during walking, running, and climbing.
