X-ray Imaging Versus Anatomical Dissection for Identification of the Fabella.
Cureus
June 2024
Center for Anatomical Science and Education, Saint Louis University School of Medicine, Saint Louis, USA.
Introduction: Reported prevalence rates of the fabella sesamoid bone vary widely, particularly between studies based on either X-ray imaging or anatomical dissection approaches. The purpose of this study was to directly compare these two methodologies in their detection of fabellae and investigate whether variability in the density of fabellae could explain any discrepancies.
Methods: Fifty cadaveric knee segments were examined for the presence of a fabella by both X-ray imaging and anatomical dissection.
Article Synopsis
- After total knee arthroplasty (TKA), isolated lateral knee pain can arise from various issues like soft tissue impingement and remnant osteophytes.
- To diagnose the pain, it's important to first check for common problems such as infection and instability using x-rays, CT scans, and potentially ultrasound for better accuracy.
- Initial treatments include anti-inflammatory meds, physical therapy for ITB stretches, and possibly steroid injections, but surgery might be necessary for lasting relief without the need for a full TKA revision.

Common fibular nerve palsy due to fabella compression: An illustrative case report.
Neurochirurgie
December 2022
Department of neurosurgery, Jolimont Hospital, Rue Ferrer, 159, 7100 Haine-Saint-Paul, Belgium. Electronic address:
Background: The fabella is a sesamoid bone situated in the tendon of the lateral head of the gastrocnemius muscle behind the lateral femoral condyle. Common fibular nerve injury may occur anywhere on its course and the most common etiology remains compression at the level of the head of the fibula. Compression by a fabella is a very unusual cause of common fibular nerve palsy and only few case reports are described in the literature.
