Abstract

Intrachondral articulations are the synovial joints that occur within costal cartilage in artiodactyls. The anatomical structure of Korean water deer differs from that of other deer. However, there have been no reports on the occurrence and shape of intrachondral articulations in the deer. To provide information on these articulations, we examined the occurrence and shape of intrachondral articulations in the Korean water deer by gross findings, radiography, computed tomography (CT), and histological observation. These joints often occur in the second to the tenth ribs. Morphologically, they are spheroidal joints, especially from the third to the eighth ribs, and their configuration is discernable in gross findings, radiography, CT, and histological sections. These basic results would be helpful in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases in the lateral thoracic wall of the Korean water deer.

갈비연골속관절[늑연골속관절]은 우제류 갈비연골에 있는 윤활관절이다. 한국 고라니는 사슴과의 다른 동물과 다른 독특한 해부학적 구조를 지니고 있다. 그러나 한국 고라니 갈비연골속관절이 있는 곳과 그 형태에 관한 연구는 없다. 본 연구는 한국 고라니 갈비연골속관절에 대한 형태학적 자료를 제공하고자 육안관찰, 방사선사진 촬영, 컴퓨터 단층영상촬영(CT), 조직학적 관찰을 시행하였던 바, 갈비연골속관절은 주로 둘째에서 열째갈비연골에 이르기까지 존재하였으며 그 형태는 절구관절이었고, 이런 형태는 특히 셋째에서 여덟째 갈비연골속관절에서 뚜렷하였다. 이러한 결과는 한국고라니 가쪽가슴벽[외측흉벽]에 대한 진단과 처치에 도움을 줄 수 있을 것이다.
