The Impact of Supratrochlear Foramen on Humeri's Medullary Canal Diameter and Its Surgical Implications.

Introduction Supracondylar elbow fractures are prevalent in the pediatric age group, and retrograde intramedullary nailing of the humerus is a common treatment approach. The anatomy of the medullary canal and the presence of the supratrochlear foramen (STF) significantly influence the stabilization of the nail. This study aimed to determine the incidence and morphology of the STF and compare the width of the medullary canal in humeri with and without the STF.

Space-Occupying Lesions of the Retropharyngeal Space: An Anatomical Study With Application to Postoperative Retropharyngeal Hematomas.

Study Design: Cadaver study.

Objective: The retropharyngeal space's (RPS's) clinical relevance is apparent in anterior cervical spine surgery with respect to postoperative hematoma, which can cause life-threatening airway obstruction. This cadaver study aims to establish guidance toward a better understanding of the tolerance of the RPS to accommodate fluid accumulation.

Chordae Willisii Within the Transverse Sinus: Morphologic Study.

Objective: Some have suggested that trabeculae within the transverse sinuses (chordae Willisii) might restrict flow and potentially contribute to thrombus organization. In addition, these structures might be encountered with endovascular procedures within the transverse sinus and are now readily seen on imaging. Therefore as anatomic studies of these structures are scant, the current study aimed to better elucidate these structures within the transverse sinus via a morphologic study in cadavers.

Surgical anatomy of the internal carotid plexus branches to the abducens nerve in the cavernous sinus.

Objective: Sympathetic branches to the abducens nerve derived from the internal carotid artery sympathetic plexus, while in the cavernous sinus, have been scantly described in the extant literature. Therefore, the present cadaveric study was performed to better elucidate this anatomy.

Patients And Methods: Eighteen cadaveric sides underwent dissection.

Microsurgical Anatomy of the Superior Wall of the Mandibular Canal and Surrounding Structures: Suggestion for New Classifications for Dental Implantology.

Our goal was to clarify the relationship between the superior wall of the mandibular canal and the presence of teeth. We also sought to study the structural changes of the mandibular canal after tooth loss. Twenty sides from 10 dry mandibles derived from six males and four females were used for this study.

Air dissection of the spaces of the head and neck: A new teaching and dissection method.

Our goal was to evaluate a new air dissection technique for the spaces of the head and neck using fresh-frozen cadavers. Eight sides from four fresh-frozen Caucasian cadavers were used in this study. Compressed air was initially placed into the pterygomandibular space while simultaneously observing the spaces of the head and neck.
