Prevalence and morphology of the tensor vastus intermedius: cadaveric study and literature comparison
The TVI was a consistent anatomical feature in this sample, with type VL predominating and notable sex-related differences. Findings confirm considerable morphological variability, highlighting potential relevance in imaging interpretation, surgical planning, and rehabilitation. Further imaging-based studies on larger populations are needed to clarify its biomechanical and clinical roles.
