| The morphometrical data related to the menisci of the adults have been reported by few authors and that of the fetuses have not been reported. The aims of the present study were to analyse the external circumference thickness, the width, peripheral and inner border lengths, and the distance between anterior and posterior horns of the fetal menisci and to compare the meniscal dimensions with that of the adult meniscal parameters which are available in the literature. The menisci from 106 knee joints of the formalin fixed South Indian fetuses which were obtained from the anatomy department were analysed. The fetuses which had musculoskeletal anomalies were excluded from the study. A vernier caliper of 0.02 mm accuracy and a non elastic cotton thread were... |

| Among the present`s sesamoids in the human body, the fabella can be found in the posterior part of the knee in low incidence. This report is quite controverted in the classic anatomical literature as well as its constitution. Its fixation is on the tendon of the gastrocnemius lateralis, close to its origin, in the posterior part of condilus femuralis lateralis. However, when its occurs, generally induces in the knee the absence of arcuate ligament with the presence of fabellofibular ligament. The prevalence is larger in male individuals. Few studies discuss the histology of the fabella. Some authors suggest that the fabella basically formed by bone tissue and others describe it as a fibrocartilaginous. The aim of this study is to analyze the incidence of... |
