In: Assiut Veterinary Medical Journal 2004.v.50(103)Summary: The stifle joint consists of two joints, femoropatellar and femorotibial. The patella in ostrich is represented by small bone surrounded in both sides and distally by large fibrocartilage. The second patella is in the form of long bony column, the caudal part of its distal extremity forms synovial joint with cranial cnemial crest, this joint is supported by three oblique ligaments. The patellar ligament is divided into medial and lateral parts, each receives contributions from the corresponding part of the femorotibial muscle. The two menisci of the femorotibial joint differ from each other in size, shape, position and attachments. Each meniscus connects with the surrounding structures through five meniscial ligaments. The femorotibial joint has six ligaments; two collateral, two cruciate and two tibiofibular. The extraarticular pouch of the femoropatellar joint is divided by a sagittal septum of the synovial membrane into medial and lateral parts. Each of the lateral and medial sacs of the femorotibial joint is divided into two compartments. From the clinical point of view the articular cavity of the femoropatellar joint communicates with the medial and lateral sacs of the femorotibial joint. The suitable site for injection of the stifle joint is located on its cranial aspect proximal to the patella.
