Fenestrated Vertebral Artery in A Routine Cadaveric Dissection.

Background: Anomalies associated with the vertebral arteries are relatively rare. The vertebral arteries arise from the first part of the Subclavian artery and pass through the transverse foramina of C6 through C1.

Case Presentation: However, in this article, we describe a unique variation in the anatomical orientation of the right vertebral artery during a routine cadaveric neck dissection where the right vertebral artery gives an oblique branch from the extradural segment (C2) forming a fenestrated Vertebral artery.

The radial sensory nerve. An anatomic study.

The superficial branch of the radial nerve was dissected using loupe magnification in 20 cadaver forearms. The nerve was found to arise between the tendons of the branchioradialis and extensor carpi radialis longus 8.6 cm proximal to the radial styloid, piercing the forearm fascia 6.

Advances in carpal bone injury and disease.

This article has reviewed many of the landmark discoveries in the diagnosis and management of carpal injuries and disease. It is apparent that much investigation remains to be done to advance our understanding of this complex joint.

Acute vascular compromise after avulsion of the distal phalanx with the flexor digitorum profundus tendon.

An unusual case of avulsion fracture of the insertion of the flexor digitorum profundus tendon is presented. In most such avulsion fractures a small amount of fractured bone may remain with the tendon. In this case almost the entire distal phalanx was avulsed, and vascular compromise of the digit then occurred.

Skeletal stabilization for digital replantation surgery. Use of intraosseous wiring.

Bony fixation is the first priority in any digital replantation procedure. Because of time considerations, however, fracture stabilization is frequently less than optimal and impairs mobilization and rehabilitation significantly. Ordinary methods of digital fracture stabilization have proven inadequate when they are applied to replantation surgery.

Isolated blastomycotic osteomyelitis: a case simulating a malignant tumor of the distal radius.

Blastomycosis osteomyelitis frequently complicates systemic blastomycosis, but it is unusual as an isolated osteolytic lesion in the asymptomatic patient. An isolated blastomycotic osteomyelitis of the distal radius was the initial manifestation of blastomycosis in a healthy young man. The lesion was originally interpreted as a sarcoma.
