Morphogenetic development of trochlear groove and thigh muscles from embryo to fetus in humans
Fig 3
Development of distal femur bone and patella morphology during embryonic and fetal stages on the parallel plane of the femur axis.
The images show the femur and patella (blue). The surfaces of the underlying subchondral bone of the femoral condyle and trochlear groove were observed. All images were obtained from the knee joint of the right lower limb.
