Histological and immunohistochemical characterization of infrapatellar Hoffa’s fat This study aimed to histological and immunohistochemical characterization of infrapatellar fat Hoffa (GIH) in 12 patients undergoing arthroscopic, meningoplastia or knee replacement. Elastic fibers were present in the infrapatellar fat with unidirectional fascicular distribution, we propose a functional relationship in the biomechanics of the knee joint movement. Moreover Immunocytochemistry tests yielded positive staining for vimentin, a marker for connective tissue cells, mesenchymal cells and negative for other studied antibodies.
