Comparative Vascular Anatomy of the Knee Joint Between the Human Being and Cynomolgous Monkey

Vascular anatomy of the knee joint in the cynomolgous monkey and human being was compared to determine if the nonhuman primate was an acceptable model for preserving the vascularity of certain tissues during human orthopaedic surgical procedures. Specimens, consisting of osseous tissue and replicas of existing arteries and arterioles, were created using the methyl methacrylate perfusion — soft tissue corrosion technique. Arterial supply to various structures of the knee joint in both species essentially arose from the same sources.
