Prevalence of the fabella and its general characteristics in Turkish population with magnetic resonance imaging

ConclusionThe fabella is usually a sesamoid bone that can be detected incidentally by imaging techniques. The incidence in the Turkish population is 15.5%, and no gender difference was detected. It is clear that further studies on the basis of populations are needed, especially considering that pathological problems remain in question and there is a lack of scientific data (variations, developmental characteristics, etc.) on sesamoid bones.
