Predetermining glenoid dimensions using the scapular dimensions.

Background: Variations of morphology of the glenoid cavity have been previously reported. These influence the surgical reconstruction or arthroplasty of the shoulder. This study aims to study the variation of the shape of suprascapular notch, shape of glenoid cavity, dimensions of both the scapular and the glenoid cavity, and predict the glenoid dimensions from the scapular dimension parameters.

Origin of the dorsal scapular artery and its relation to the brachial plexus in Thais.

We investigated the variations of the origin of the dorsal scapular artery (DSA) and its relation to the brachial plexus in 252 sides of the posterior cervical triangles of Thais. The origin of this artery on each part of the subclavian artery or other arterial branches was examined with special reference to their course in relation to the brachial plexus. The results show that the DSA originated from three sites; most commonly from the transverse cervical artery (69%) followed by the direct branching from the second (2.

Occipitalization of the atlas: its incidence and clinical implications.

Objective: The aim of the present study was to investigate the incidence of occipitalization of the atlas among Thai dried skulls, in order to contribute to baseline awareness of this condition.

Materials And Methods: The skulls of 633 adult Thais from the collection maintained in the Department of Anatomy, Faculty of Medicine, Khon Kaen University, Thailand, were examined for evidence of occipitalization of the atlas. The skulls were well-preserved and did not show any traits of craniofacial deformation.

Duplicated axillary arch muscles arising from the latissimus dorsi.

Many origins and insertions of an axillary muscular slip (also known as Langer's or axillary arch muscles) have been documented previously. In this report, we found duplicated axillary arch muscles (two variant muscular slips) originating from the inferolateral border of the right side latissimus dorsi muscle. Obviously, these axillary arch muscles can be distinguished as short and long muscular strips.

The right ovarian artery arising from the right inferior phrenic artery: a case report.

Objective: To report a case of the right ovarian artery arising from the right inferior phrenic artery.

Material And Method: The authors carried out the standard dissection survey of 810 embalmed female cadavers between 1983 and 2010.

Results: The authors encountered a case of the right ovarian artery arising from the right inferior phrenic artery in a donated cadaver aged 53 years at decease.
