Article Synopsis
- Accurate preoperative landmarking of facial nerve branches is crucial in deep facial surgery to prevent nerve injury.
- A study dissected 33 cadavers to identify the position of the buccal rami in relation to a newly defined intercept landmark.
- Findings showed that 96.97% of the buccal rami were within 1 cm of the intercept, indicating that this landmark can reliably identify a "safe zone" for surgery where the risk of damaging the facial nerve is minimal.

Fatigue is a common complaint of patients with RA, however their perceived fatigue may be more exacerbated than objective measures of fatigue may indicate. The assessment of fatigue is made complex due to inconsistent and vague terms used to define fatigue, and the task dependence of fatigability.
