Abstract:
Forty six cadaveric lower limbs were examined to define the presence, site and shape of the tendinous interruption in semitendinosus. It was found to be: 1. Present in all limbs studied. 2. Single in all limbs studied. 3. V-shaped with a short lateral limb and a long medial limb measuring one fifth of the total muscle length. 4. Its apex is one third of the total muscle length from the origin of the muscle.
