Abstract
The aim of this study was to reveal the anatomic features of the joint capsules and meniscus in the knee joint of adult New Zealand rabbits and to provide data for the other researchers. The cranial femoropatellar compartment lying distally between the patella and the patellar ligament was observed widening on the proximal aspect of the infrapatellar adipose body filling this space between the patellar ligament and tuberositas tibia. This location was determined to be the most suitable space for intracapsular injection. Latex was injected into the joint to assess the limits of the joint capsule and its connections. The cavities in the knee joint of the rabbit were seen to be connected with each other. The cavities in the joint capsule widening on the proximal aspect of the infrapatellar adipose body were displayed coursing in the cranio-caudal direction on both sides and providing a passage for the lateral and medial femorotibial compartments

Abstract
Bu çalışmada Yeni Zelanda Tavşanı diz ekleminde bulunan meniscus ve eklem kapsülünün anatomik özelliklerini belirlemek ve diğer araştırmacılara kaynak sağlamak amaçlandı. Patella ve lig. patellae ile femur arasında distal’e doğru uzanan cranial femoropatellar kompartmanın, ligamentum patellae ile tuberositas tibiae arasını dolduran corpus adiposum infrapatellare’nin proximal’inde genişleyerek yayıldığı görüldü. Bu noktanın intrakapsüler enjeksiyon için en uygun yer olduğu tespit edildi. Tavşanlarda eklem boşluğu içerisinde yer alan kompartımanların birbirleriyle ilişkili olduğu görüldü. Corpus adiposum infrapatellare’nin proximal’inde genişleyen eklem kapsülünün içinde kalan boşlukların her iki yanda cranial’den caudal’e doğru seyrederek lateral ve medial femorotibial kompartmanlara geçiş sağladığı tespit edildi
