Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
Z. Zhang and A. Feduccia 2012Mandibular symphysis strong and broad; ramus relatively thin (narrow). Ulna relatively short, with absence of pneumatic foramina at both ends; condylus dorsalis joins shaft by abrupt transition. Tibiotarsus robust with a nearly circular transverse section at the central half; crista cnemialis cranialis long, directing outward proximally and distally reaching the proximal end of the crista fibularis; much lower epicondylus medialis anterior the front margin of the tibiotarsal shaft. Middle shaft of tarsometatarsus tapers abruptly; fossa infracotylaris dorsalis relatively narrow and deep; tuberculum m. fibularis brevis well developed; tuberositas m. tib. cranialis at median line of shaft; sulcus flexorius deep; all three trochleae terminate at same transverse plane; trochlea 3 slightly elevated and larger than the lateral and medial in distal view.
