Triticeal cartilage: a meta-analysis of prevalence and morphologic evaluation.

September 2024
Purpose: The triticeal cartilage, situated within the lateral thyrohyoid membrane, remains elusive in function yet crucial in clinical contexts. Composed of hyaline cartilage, it is prone to ossification, potentially leading to diagnostic challenges such as misidentification with atherosclerosis or fractures.
Methods: This study, aiming to establish its prevalence and highlight clinical relevance, conducted a systematic review across several electronic databases such as Medline, PUBMED, Scopus, Google Scholar, Web of Science, SpringerLink and Sciencedirect using keywords "triticeal cartilage", "triticeous cartilage" or "cartilago triticea".
Article Synopsis
- The patella, or kneecap, is an important sesamoid bone that helps form the patellofemoral component of the knee joint, which can be surgically rebuilt using total knee arthroplasty (TKA) when damaged by various arthritis types.
- This study analyzes the morphometry of 168 human patellae, examining various parameters and applying the Wiberg classification to categorize the samples.
- Significant differences were found in patellar measurements between the left and right sides, as well as among different Wiberg types, highlighting the importance of understanding patellar morphology for surgical procedures and medical evaluations.
Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the distribution of olfactory filaments (OFs) in the nasal mucosa to facilitate preservation of olfactory function in endonasal approaches and preparation of a nasoseptal flap.
Methods: One formalin-fixed and 9 fresh cadaveric silicone-injected specimens with 20 total sides were studied to measure the distance of the OFs to the anatomical landmarks and compare the OF presence in the nasal septum mucosa (NSM) and ethmoidal mucosa (EM).
Results: The mean distance from the first to the last OF was 19.
