“…The menisci are largely avascular, but are more vascular at their extremities than elsewhere. 1 In most cases, the width of the medial meniscus, that is, from the thick convex periphery to the thin concave central margin, differs in the anterior and posterior halves. The anterior is narrow whereas the posterior is broad but some variations is encountered and occasionally little difference in width is noted between the anterior and posterior halves.…”

Background: Of the synovial joints in the body knee joint is the largest. Each meniscus is a piece of fibrocartilage with a thickened outside edge and a thin inner edge so that it is wedge-shaped in cross section. The purpose of the present study was to establish database on standard dimensions in knee menisci of adults of north Indian population.Methods: The sample for this study was collected from April, 2012 to June, 2013. For this study, 200 menisci (100 right and left each) of 50 adult humans were taken for analysis. Measurements were done with the help of non-elastic thread and digital vernier calipers. All dissections were performed in a systematic fashion.Results: The width of the lateral meniscus was significantly different form medial meniscus with lateral and medial menisci widest in middle and posterior third respectively. The middle one third of both lateral and middle menisci was the thickest.Conclusions: It is always good to have a set of anatomical morphometric parameters of the menisci like the width and thickness. The measurements of suitable grafts may provide a more acceptable meniscal replacement in the future.

“…Many of its branches may arise by a common trunk or a branch of the named artery may arise separately (Hollinshead, 1958). On the basis of the origins of the branches, De Garis & Swartley (1928) described 23 different types of axillary artery.…”

Abnormal Branching of the Axillary Artery: Subscapular Common Trunk. A Case Report

et al. 2008

SUMMARY: An unusual unilateral variation in the branching pattern of axillary artery was observed in a 60 year old female embalmed cadaver. The axillary artery had only two branches arising from its proximal (first) part and no branches from its remaining distal (second & third) parts. The branches are superior thoracic (usual) and another large collateral (unusual) branch. This collateral branch is the origin of several important arteries as the circumflex scapular, thoracodorsal, posterior circumflex humeral, thoraco-acromial and lateral thoracic arteries. We propose to name this artery as common subscapular trunk. The course of this collateral artery (common subscapular trunk) and its branches and also clinical significance of this variation are discussed in the paper.

“…Each meniscus is a piece of fibro cartilage with a thickened outside edge and a thin inner edge so that it is wedge shaped in cross section. 1 The periphery of lateral meniscus is thicker and the width of the meniscus is greater and more uniform in the anterior and posterior halves. 2 The two horns of the lateral meniscus tend to be the same size and hence this meniscus more nearly approaches the form of an incomplete '0'.…”
