Morphological features of the chiasma tendinum and its relation with surface landmarks and pulleys: a cadaveric study.

Aim: Chiasma tendinum (Camper's chiasm) is of great importance in the delicate movements and stability of the fingers and takes place poorly in the literature. This study aims to reveal the morphometric details of the chiasma tendinum in relation with pulleys and other relevant structures.

Materials And Methods: Palm and 2nd to 5th fingers of 10 (6 male, 4 female) formalin fixed cadavers were used bilaterally.

Iliocapsularis muscle in human fetuses.

Purpose: To determine the incidence of the iliocapsularis muscle in fetal period and its relationship with the hip joint capsule.

Methods: Twenty-one formalin-fixed fetuses (12 female and 9 male) with a mean gestational age of 29 ± 3.89 weeks (range 25-36) were dissected to reveal morphological properties of iliocapsularis muscle.
