DORSALIS PEDIS NEUROVASCULAR FLAP, OUR EXPERIENCE.

Objectives: Analyze the donor site morbidity of the dorsalis pedis neurovascular flap in traumatic injuries with hand tissue loss.

Material And Methods: The study involved dorsalis pedis neurovascular flaps that were used to reconstruct the hands of eight male patients, between 1983 and 2003, aged between 21 and 53 years (mean 34.6, SD ± 10.

Anatomical Study of the Motor Branches of the Radial Nerve in the Forearm.

 To analyze the anatomical variations of the motor branches of the radial nerve in the elbow region. The origin, course, length, branches, motor points and relationships with neighboring structures were evaluated.  Thirty limbs from15 adult cadavers were dissected and prepared by intra-arterial injection of a 10% glycerin and formaldehyde solution.

Anatomical Study of Radial Tunnel and its Clinical Implications in Compressive Syndromes.

 The purpose of the present study was to analyze the structures in the radial tunnel that can cause posterior interosseous nerve entrapment.  A total of 30 members of 15 adult cadavers prepared by intra-arterial injection of a 10% solution of glycerol and formalin were dissected. All were male, belonging to the laboratory of anatomy of this institution.

Anterior interosseous nerve: anatomical study and clinical implications.

Objective: The goal of this study was to describe anatomical variations and clinical implications of anterior interosseous nerve. In complete anterior interosseous nerve palsy, the patient is unable to flex the distal phalanx of the thumb and index finger; in incomplete anterior interosseous nerve palsy, there is less axonal damage, and either the thumb or the index finger are affected.

Methods: This study was based on the dissection of 50 limbs of 25 cadavers, 22 were male and three, female.
