[Scanning electron microscopic study of the coxofemoral articular surfaces in the human fetus].
A scanning electron microscopic study of the coxo-femoral articular cartilage was performed in ten human fetuses aged from 15 to 40 weeks. An irregular surface was observed at the level of both femoral head and acetabulum. These surface irregularities are modified during development.
