Abstract

During the routine anatomy dissection for the undergraduate students, an uncommon variation in relation to bones was observed. The muscle attachments of the axial and appendicular skeleton were associated with the formation of extensive enthesophytes. The bones mainly responsible for the weight transmission especially in the lower limbs were observed to have an abundant new bone formation in the area for muscle and ligament attachments. This information may be of importance to radiologist, surgeons who are seeking to reduce the morbidity associated with dissections in this region, particularly related to paresthesias and nerve compressions.
