Danger zone - The spermatic cord during anterior plating of the symphysis pubis.

Background: Distances between anatomic landmarks and anatomic structures at risk are often underestimated by surgeons.

Purpose: The goal of the study was to evaluate the distances between anatomic landmarks and the spermatic cord in case of anterior plating of the symphysis.

Methods: A total of 25 pelves (50 hemipelves) of male embalmed cadavers were dissected.

A Novel Surgical Technique for Fixation of Recurrent Acromioclavicular Dislocations: AC Dog Bone Technique in Combination with Autogenous Semitendinosus Tendon Graft.

Various surgical techniques have been described for the fixation of acromioclavicular (AC) dislocations. However, recurrent dislocation is one of the main complications associated with the majority of these techniques. We report a case of postoperative AC joint redislocation.

Computer-aided analysis for optimal screw insertion in lateral mass of C1: An anatomical study.

Introduction: Motion preserving techniques in C1 ring fractures are increasingly used especially in young patients. Therefore, lateral mass screws are inserted in the first vertebra and connected by a rod. The purpose of this study was to determine safe zones regarding the vertebral arteries and the medulla oblongata for optimal lateral mass screw positioning when fusing the C1-ring.
