Background: The navicular syndrome may be associated with alterations in other podotrochlear apparatus components, such as the deep digital flexor tendon, collareral sesamoid and distal sesamoid ligaments, podotrochlear bursa and distal sesamoid bone. However, the clinical significance and nature of these changes are not well understood, many of de...

... tortuousness of blood vessels does not characterize part of the healing process, as fibroplasia ( Figure 2). In a transversal section, the tendon fascicles arrangement was delimited by a dense non-modeled connective tissue, rich in blood vessels and stroma (Figure 3). In contrast, in the distal sesamoid region, the fibers adopt a slightly wavy, elongated, and well-defined arrangement and their parallelism is not expressed with the same intensity as the suprasesamoid region, being accompanied by a developed dense connective tissue that corresponds to the peritendon. ...

Objectives: This study aims to analyze whether the lateral posterior condylar offset (LPCO) and lateral posterior tibial slope (LPTS) values are associated with the presence of fabella by evaluating the frequency of fabella, its location, and whether it is bilateral and the relationship of the fabella with age, sex, and the presence of osteoarthri...
