Abstract:
In the present communication we present eight human embryos, understood between the 16 and 30 mm., carrier of renal half fusion -kidney in horseshoe-. We carry out a descriptive study based on fifty embryos of these stadiums (Collection Jiménez Collado), in order to establish the different normodifferenciative stadiums, as well as the possible schedule in which the malformation settles down, for finally to suggest possible mechanism-hypothesis that explain the presence of the renal half fusion.

Development of the Limb Synovial Joints
The mesenchymal stem cells differentiate into chondrocytes that form the hyaline cartilage, and later the cartilaginous model of the bone. This model further transforms into a bone. This process is known as endochondral ossification.
During development, the limbs...
