The peroneocuboid joint: morphogenesis and anatomical study.

摘要: The peroneocuboid joint, between the peroneus longus tendon and cuboid bone, has not been anatomically well-defined no embryological study published. Furthermore, ossification of os peroneum (a sesamoid inside tendon) its associated pathology considered to be generated by orthostatic and/or mechanical loads. A light microscopy analysis serially sectioned human embryonic fetal feet, adult feet means standard macroscopic dissection, X-ray histological techniques have carried out. was fully visible until insertion in 1st metatarsal bone already at stage 23 (56‐57 days). joint cavity appeared transition period (8‐9th week gestation) independent proximal synovial sheath. extended from level calcaneocuboid all way bone. frenular ligaments, fixing 5th or long ligament, developed period. presented a thickening area surrounding as early This may precursor similar shape size relation tendon, observed adults. To best our knowledge, this is first show that peroneum, articular facets ligaments appear during embryonic/fetal development therefore they can exclusively
