Question: What’s the strongest bone in the human body?

Answer: The femur is the longest, heaviest and strongest bone in the body, connecting the hip joint to the knee joint. Its immense size is directly related to its primary function: transferring the body’s weight and forces from the torso to the lower legs during movement and rest. Its strength allows it to support forces estimated to be 30 times the body weight of an average adult human without fracturing.
