A vertical ridge, which is dorsally and ventrally expanded but constricted in the middle section, extends across the middle of the articular surface. The articular surfaces on both sides of the ridge are strongly concave. The dorsal edge of the articular surface forms a robust dorsal lip, surrounded by a depression. A ventral process is present on the ventral edge of the articular surface. The articular surface is separated by a notch from the ventrodistally located enlarged flexor tubercle. Laterally and medially, the collateral groove extends along the entire ungual, starting from the area above the flexor tubercle.

Moreover, the proximal articulation is offset, and the flexor tubercle is distally positioned and smaller in contrast to unguals I-2 and III-4, which further supports its identification as II-3 of a caenagnathid.

The posterior part of the greater trochanter is connected to the femoral head that projects mediodistally, and the anterior part of the greater trochanter is widened anteriorly. In anterior view, the femoral head is positioned higher than the greater trochanter, and they are separated by a broad, shallow depression. The surface of the rounded femoral head is rugose. In posterior view, a wide groove for the capital ligament is present on the femoral head. In medial view, the femoral head is ovoid, and its posterodorsal margin is wider than the anteroventral end. The neck is narrower anteroposteriorly than the head; and the ventral margin of the head is directed downwards before connecting to the neck. The neck extends upwards from the greater trochanter, which is wider lateromedially than the lesser trochanter. The lesser trochanter is almond-shaped in anterior view.

The condyles are distally separated by a deep but narrow notch (the popliteal fossa). Anteriorly and distally, the condyles are separated by shallower and wider depressions (the extensor grooves). The medial condyle is convex, with a slightly rugose surface. The lateral condyle bears an elevation on its distal surface. The tibiofibular crest extends posteromedially. In lateral view, the tibiofibular crest is axeshaped and projects further posteriorly than the medial condyle.

Distally, the fibula strongly narrows anteroposteriorly and has a triangular cross-section along ~65% of its total length.

), and its length to width ratio is two. The proximal articular surface is triangular in posterior view and can be divided into lateral and medial teardrop-shaped concave articular surfaces, separated from each other by a smooth ridge running in the middle of the proximal articular surface. In the lateral and medial views, the proximal articular surface is strongly concave, the plantar margin extends backwards, and the lip-shaped dorsal margin (extensor turbecle) is elevated dorsally and directed posteriorly. The distal articular surface is composed of the lateral condyle and slightly shorter plantodorsally medial condyle, which are separated by a concavity that is shallow dorsally but becomes deeper along the articular surface to its end on the plantar side. In anterior view, the lateral condyle extends further downwards than the medial condyle. The ligament pits are well marked on the both sides of the phalanx; the lateral ligament pit is elongated anteroposteriorly, and the medial ligament pit is circular.
