Description

Watercolour drawing of the knee joint from a boy, who was a bleeder, and died from continuous haemorrhage, resulting from a cut on the lip. The synovial membrane is stained with blood, which had been extravasated into the joint, the cartilage is very thin, and the patella was adherent to the condyles of the femur.
