An unusual variant of an accessory thoracic muscle.

Background: The anterior thoracic wall musculature presents significant morphological variability. The current literature describes a few accessory thoracic muscles (ATMs) and discusses possible clinical implications. The dissection report describes an unusual ATM variant.

The elusive bipartite scaphoid: a rare congenital variant or misdiagnosed pseudoarthrosis? A proposal for novel radiological criteria.

Variations in the development of carpal bones are uncommon, with the scaphoid bone typically forming from the fusion of the os centrale carpi and the radial chondrification center during embryogenesis. A bipartite scaphoid is a rare congenital disorder that occurs when these ossification centers fail to fuse, with a prevalence ranging from 0.1% to 0.

Morphological variability of the testicular arteries and clinical significance - a comprehensive review.

The testicular artery is the vessel that provides oxygen-rich blood to the testes. It is also involved in many more processes that play important roles in spermatogenesis such as thermoregulation. As the vessel has a number of anatomical variants, it may be often responsible for difficulties and complications during abdominopelvic surgical procedures.

The extensor digitorum brevis manus variability and clinical significance: a systematic review with meta-analysis.

Purpose: The current meta-analysis aimed to investigate the extensor digitorum brevis manus (EDBM) muscle variability by calculating the pooled prevalence of all published variants. After considering the pooled prevalence, these variants were classified based on their insertion and relationship with the extensor indicis (EI) muscle and/or tendon. The origin of the variants, neural and arterial supply, and the terminology of the EDBM variants were further investigated.

Periprosthetic Joint Infection Caused by Providencia stuartii: A Case Report.

Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a rare yet serious complication following a total hip replacement, predominantly caused by gram-positive bacteria such as and However, gram-negative pathogens can also be isolated. This case report presents a 22-year-old patient with a PJI caused by after total hip replacement due to a motor vehicle accident. The patient with a clinical history of total hip replacement secondary to posttraumatic arthrosis presented to our department with clinical and laboratory indications of PJI in the right hip.
