ABSTRACT:The morphometrical data related to the menisci of the adults have been reported by few authors but data specific to the population of East Goadavari region 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 menisci and to compare them with those which are available in the literature. The menisci from 100 knee joints of the formalin fixed cadavers which were obtained from the Anatomy department of Rangaraya Medical College, Kakinada and Konaseema Institute of Medical Sciences and Research Foundation, Amalapuram were analysed. The cadavers which had musculoskeletal anomalies were excluded from the study. A vernier calliper of 0.02 mm accuracy and a non-elastic cotton thread were used for the morphometry. After comparing the meniscal dimensions of the present study with the other available literature, we established that there are some morphological differences of meniscus in this set of population.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
