It's because of the way our knees bend. If they bent in the opposite direction, like birds, then our femurs would be concave. Think about getting into a squatting position, the force of your weight is more effectively transferred through your legs because of the anterior convexity of the femur.

If your femur was concave it would be really weird, funny, and perhaps very useful for putting things in, like salt when you eat chips, or pencils when you wrote a letter. Mmmmmm.
