The '''lateral epicondyle of the [[femur]]''', smaller and less prominent than the [[Medial epicondyle of the femur|medial epicondyle]], gives attachment to the [[fibular collateral ligament]] of the [[knee-joint]]. Directly below it is a small depression from which a smooth well-marked groove curves obliquely upward and backward to the posterior extremity of the [[condyle]].
