Caracterización histológica e inmunocitoquímica de la grasa infrapatelar de Hoffa

Histological and immunohistochemical characterization of infrapatellar Hoffa’s fat

El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo la caracterización histológica e inmunocitoquímica de la grasa infrapatelar de Hoffa (GIH) en 12 pacientes intervenidos por artroscopia, meningoplastia o remplazo de rodilla. Las fibras elásticas estuvieron presentes en la grasa infrapatelar con distribución unidireccional fascicular, se plantea una relación funcional en la biomecánicas del movimiento articular de la rodilla. Por otra parte las pruebas de inmunocitoquimica arrojaron marcaje positivo para vimentina, marcador de células del tejido conectivo; células mesenquimales y negativo para el resto de los anticuerpos estudiados.
