 ABSTRACT

Femoro-patellar joint from different age groups of buffalo were collected which were divided into four groups viz., Group I (Prenatal), Group II (young 0-3yrs), Group III (3-6yrs) and Group IV (>6yrs) and morphometric measurements were recorded  and subjected to statistical Analysis. Length of the lateral trochlear ridge of femur increased significantly (P ≤ 0.01) from 3.70 ± 0.73 cm in specimens of group I to 12.86 ± 0.23 cm in group IV in contrast to medial trochlear ridge showed a significant increase from group I (4.79 ± 0.59 cm) to group III (12.60 ± 0.40 cm) only beyond which difference in growth in length was insignificant.

Key words: Femoro-patellar joint, Lateral Ridge, Medial Ridge, Post natal buffalo
