THE ARTICULAR MUSCLE OF THE KNEE: MORPHOLOGY AND DISPOSITION

To investigate the morphologic aspects and the relations of the articular muscle of the knee with articular cavity of the knee, as well as the disposal of muscular fibers to the level of femur, besides comparing the muscular mass of the articular of the knee with the rest of the muscular mass of the...
