[Development anomalies of the menisci and transverse ligament of the knee]
Abstract:
A rare variant of knee joint developmental anomaly in the form of faulty fixation of knee transversal ligament to the menisci and absence of its connection to tibia is described. Defect of knee transversal ligament fixation is combined with discoid menisci and anomalous variants of menisci fixation. There have been operated 21 child aged 8-14 years. Knee transversal ligament has been fixed to the tibia epiphysis and in case of meniscus formation distortions they were paracapsularly resected. The results of treatment have been followed during 3 years, the stability of a knee joint has been restored.

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.

Anterior Compartment
The quadriceps femoris, the most visible muscle of the anterior compartment, is integral for leg extension and thigh flexion. It is formed by merging four distinct muscles — the vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, vastus intermedius, and rectus femoris. The quadriceps tendon, a shared tendon of the four quadriceps muscles, is affixed to...
