This is Britt and you’re listening to Radical Welness’s segment Fun Fact Friday. Have you ever heard of a fabella? Me neither. Well at least until I found out anywhere between 10 to 30% of the population have one. The fabella is a small bone found in the tendon behind the Fibula. Why is it important? It’s most commonly found  in non-human animals, yet some humans are still born with them. The bone wasn’t even discovered until 1918. 

 

Now you might be thinking, well that’s a cool fact, but why is it important? While most people with a fabella might not even know they have it, some develop fabella syndrome, which is characterized by sharp pain while extending the knee. People with this problem may also have pain while doing simple activities such as going up the stairs.
