Results of radiologic and anatomic studies of each cubital articulation (elbow) of a group of 50 adult cat cadavers indicated that a sesamoid bone may be located in a constantly present sesamoid cartilage associated with the tendon of origin of the supinator muscle. Radiography revealed a sesamoid bone in 40 of the 100 tendons of origin of the supinator muscles dissected from the elbows. The sesamoid bone articulated with the craniolateral aspect of the head of the radius, and the larger sesamoid cartilage, which contained the bone, articulated with the head of the radius and the capitulum of the humerus. Of several possible functions of the sesamoid cartilage (bone), it was considered that protection of the craniolateral part of the humeroradial articulation and maintenance of the complex anatomic system during joint movement were important. In radiographic views of the elbows of lame cats, the sesamoid bone should not be mistaken for a chip fracture or an osteocartilaginous loose body.
对一组50只成年猫尸体的每个肘关节（肘部）进行放射学和解剖学研究的结果表明，籽骨可能位于与旋后肌起点肌腱相关的持续存在的籽骨软骨中。放射学检查显示，从肘部解剖出的100条旋后肌起点肌腱中有40条存在籽骨。籽骨与桡骨头的颅外侧面相接，而包含该籽骨的较大籽骨软骨则与桡骨头和肱骨小头相接。关于籽骨软骨（籽骨）的几种可能功能，人们认为保护肱桡关节的颅外侧部分以及在关节运动期间维持复杂的解剖系统很重要。在跛行猫肘部的放射影像中，籽骨不应被误认为是碎片骨折或骨软骨游离体。
