Medial Femoral Epicondyle

Midway between the medial femoral epicondyle (ME) and the pubic tubercle (PT). 

Insert the electrode to a maximum depth of one-half inch at a point midway between the pubic tubercle (PT) and the medial femoral epicondyle (ME). 

A major bony landmark is the greater trochanter, easily palpated on the lateral superior aspect of the shaft. The lesser trochanter is on the medial aspect of the inferior end of the femoral neck. This trochanter, although not palpable, is very important, because it is the site of attachment of the iliopsoas tendon. At its distal end, the femoral condyles and epicondyles are easily palpable at the knee joint. 

Four fingerbreadths distal to the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) along the line to the medial epicondyle (ME) of the tibia. Insert the electrode just lateral to the femoral artery (FA) to a depth of about one-half inch.
