origin: transverse process of 1st 4 cervical vertebrae insertion: vertebral border of scapula between superior medial angle and scapular spine; action: elevates scapula to inferiorly rotate glenoid cavity; working with the upper Trapezius , elevates and adducts scapula; reversed origin insertion action: when scapula is fixed, laterally flexes and slightly rotates cervical spine; nerve supply: dorsal … Read more
– See: Limb Lengthening Fixators Post Op Care in the Ilizarov Method: (by Dr. Mangal Parihar) distraction histiogenesis – Discussion: – lengthening thru the proximal tibia, tends to drift into valgus and procurvatum, and therefore consider presetting distraction in 5 deg of varus; … Read more
Co-authored by: Jan Van Der Bauwhede MD – Discussion: – disorder of unknown etiology characterised by local proliferation of abnormal fibrous tissue in the plantar fascia – this tissue is locally aggressive and progressively replaces the normal plantar aponeurosis – this leads to often painful thickened fascia with nodules … Read more
– Description – I Open (usually from stabbing) – II Closed (usually from motorcycle accident) – IIa Supraclavicular – preganglionic: – avulsion of nerve roots, usually from high speed injuries with other … Read more
– origin: broad aponeurosis that originates on the spinous processesof the lower 6 thoracic and all lumbar vertebrae; posterior crest of ilium, posterior surface of sacrum, lower 3 or 4 ribs, and an attachment of the tip of the scapula; – insertion: flat tendon that twists upon itself to insert into the intertubercular groove of … Read more
– Discussion: – involves impingment of nerve roots lateral to the thecal sac, as they pass thru the neural foramina; – anatomically there is compression from medial aspect of hypertrophic superior articular facet, – often associated with facet joint arthropathy (superior articular process enlargement) and disc disease; … Read more
– Discussion: Tibial Plateau Frx Menu – lateral plateau frxs include: – type I fractures – type II fractures – type III fractures – local compression frx which are similar to type iii frx – Surgical Stratedgy: – extensile surgical approach that exposes whole … Read more
– Discussion: – arises from anterior division of upper (C5, C6) & middle trunks (C7); – lateral pectoral nerve – musculocutaneous nerve – lateral root of the median nerve : (FCR & pronator teres) and (sensory fibers to the median nerve) – lateral cord branches … Read more
– See: Hallux Valgus Arthroplasty Menu: – Technique: – begins thru a short dorsal incision in 1st web space, which is made in midline in order to avoid superficial branches of deep peroneal nerve which passes on each side; – if incision is made to proximally, it … Read more
– Anatomy: – LFCN, as its name suggests, is purely sensory; – it arises from L2 and L3, travels downward lateral to the psoas muscle, crosses the iliacus muscle (deep to fascia), passes either thru or underneath the lateral aspect of the inguinal ligament, and finally travels onto innervate the lateral … Read more
