Hip and stifle joint anatomy of the Saimaa (Pusa hispida saimensis) and Baltic ringed seals (Pusa hispida botnica)

© 2021 Wiley-VCH GmbH..

The anatomical architecture of the hip and stifle joints of the Saimaa ringed seal was determined by dissection to be similar to that of the Baltic ringed seal. There was no ligament of the femoral head in the hip joint. The lateral side of the stifle joint lacked a collateral ligament but the collateral ligament on the medial side was of considerable size. The medial meniscus was larger and thicker than the lateral meniscus. The asymmetrical anatomical architecture allows for much lateral movement during aquatic motion, but it is poorly adapted to terrestrial locomotion.
