A topographical study of cartilaginous lesions to the elbow

Abstract:
The macroscopic examination of 40 anatomical preparations of the elbow has enabled us to describe the location of cartilaginous lesions to the humeral, radial and ulnar joint surfaces. A protocol for the macroscopic examination of the lesions was drawn up for the observation of 40 anatomical elbow-joint preparations. The results demonstrated that the cartilage of the lateral compartment (humero-radial) was preferentially affected as compared with that of the medial compartment (humero-ulnar) for which it will be necessary to search for a functional explanation.
