(Pl. Fabellae)
A small accessory bone that is present in the knee joints of roughly 1/3 of individuals. Its exact function or purpose, if indeed it has one, is not known, although the fabella has been associated with a number of knee-related problems.
The bone is so called because, as its Latin-derived name might suggest, it resembles a little bean.
