The fabella is a small sesamoid bone found in some mammals embedded in the tendon of the lateral head of the gastrocnemius muscle behind the lateral condyle of the femur. It is an accessory bone, an anatomical variation present in 39% of humans. [1][2] Rarely, there are two or three of these bones (fabella bi- or tripartita).

2023年6月28日 · The fabella (plural fabellae 5) is an accessory ossicle that is almost always found in the lateral head of the gastrocnemius although rarely it can occur in the medial head of gastrocnemius 4. It occurs in ~20% (range 10-30%) of the population 1.

The fabella is a sesamoid bone that is embedded in the lateral head of the gastrocnemius muscle and often articulates directly with the lateral femoral condyle. It is present in 10-30% of the general population with a higher incidence in Asians.

Consistent posterolateral pain during exercise might indicate the presence of a fabella syndrome. Resecting the fabella can be indicated and is a minor surgical procedure with minimal risk. Despite good results in the literature posterolateral knee pain can persist and prevent return to a high level of sports.

The fabella is a rare sesamoid bone found within the posterior aspect of the knee joint. Patients can suffer from fabella syndrome which is characterized as pain with extension of the knee, ultimately limiting motion and causing a clicking or catching sensation.

Posterolateral knee pain can be associated with the presence of a fabella and this incidence may be referred to as a fabella syndrome. The syndrome should be considered when tenderness is found over the posterior aspect of the lateral femoral condyle. The fabella is a sesamoid bone in the posterolateral capsule of the human knee joint.

El fabela, también conocido como fabella (del diminutivo latino de faba, 'haba'), es un pequeño hueso sesamoideo que se encuentra en algunos mamíferos incrustado en el tendón de la cabeza lateral del músculo gastrocnemio (gemelos) detrás del cóndilo lateral del fémur.

The fabella is a sesamoid bone located behind the lateral femoral condyle. It is common in non‐human mammals, but the prevalence rates in humans vary from 3 to 87%. Here, we calculate the prevalence of the fabella in a Korean population and investigate possible temporal shifts in prevalence rate.

2018年6月5日 · The fabella is a sesamoid bone that is embedded in the lateral head of the gastrocnemius muscle and often articulates directly with the lateral femoral condyle. It is present in 10-30% of the general population with a higher incidence in Asians.

2019年4月19日 · Un grupo de científicos del centro universitario Imperial College de Londres ha descubierto que un hueso que se pensaba había desaparecido durante la evolución, está regresando. Se trata del...
