Anatomic safe zone for proximal ulnar fixation: a cadaver study.

Objective: To study the location and characterization of the safe zone with respect to bony landmarks on volar surface of proximal ulna for the protrusion of various ulnar fixations.

Material And Method: The present study was done on 39 upper extremities from 20 embalmed human, adult cadavers. The average ages of the cadavers were 67.

Vascular anatomy of the proximal fibula from embalmed cadaveric dissection.

Objectives: To study the vascular pattern of proximal fibula with use of embalmed cadaveric specimens.

Material And Method: The present study was done on 33 lower extremities from 19 embalmed human, adult cadavers. The average ages of the cadavers were 68.

Anatomic safe zone of pin insertion point for distal clavicle fixation.

Clavicle fracture is the most common childhood fracture and one of the most common fractures in adults. Only some types of distal clavicular fractures, and dislocation of the acromioclavicular joint, require internal fixation. Many surgeons prefer closed pinning; however, the difficulty inserting many of the various kinds of pins from acromion into the medullary canal, of the distal clavicle, means the likelihood of iatrogenic complications from repeated drilling is heightened.
