Prevalence and Mophometry of Os Peroneum amongst Central Indians.

Introduction: Os Peroneum is round or oval shaped sesamoid within the substance of the Peroneus longus tendon as it plays on the Cuboid bone.

Materials And Methods: Thirty six embalmed cadavers were dissected bilaterally. Lateral part of foot and sole was dissected to expose Peroneus longus tendon and Os Peroneum.

Origins of the coronary arteries and their significance.

Objective: To describe the normal and variant anatomy of the coronary artery ostia in Indian subjects.

Introduction: Anomalous coronary origins may cause potentially dangerous symptoms, and even sudden death during strenuous activity. A cadaveric study in an unsuspected population provides a basis for understanding the normal variants, which may facilitate determination of the prevalence of anomalies and evaluation of the value of screening for such anomalies.

Internal architecture of calcaneus: correlations with mechanics and pathoanatomy of calcaneal fractures.

Background: Available studies on internal architecture of the calcaneus are cursory and contradictory. Present study focused on elaborate descriptions of the different trabecular groups and their correlation with the fractures of this bone.

Method: To study the internal architecture, 50 dry adult human calcanei were sectioned in various planes and grossly dissected.

Internal architecture of the talus.

Background: Ideally, bone has the external shape and internal architecture best adapted to its function. The internal architecture of the talus should reflect its functional adaptations. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the orientation of lamellae to account for its role in transmission of various forces.
