Risk of Radial Nerve Injury in Anterolateral Humeral Shaft Plating.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the risk of iatrogenic radial nerve injury between arm positionings of 45° and 60° abduction in anterolateral humeral plating using a 4.5-mm narrow dynamic compression plate.

Methods: Fifty-six humeri of cadavers in the supine position with 45° of arm abduction were exposed through the anterolateral approach.

The risk of iatrogenic radial nerve and/or profunda brachii artery injury in anterolateral humeral plating using a 4.5 mm narrow DCP: A cadaveric study.

Introduction: Fixation of humeral shaft fractures with a plate and screws can endanger the neurovascular structure if proper care is not taken. No studies to our knowledge have studied the risk of iatrogenic radial nerve and/or profunda brachii artery (RNPBA) injury from each screw hole of a 4.5 mm narrow dynamic compression plate (narrow DCP).

The Danger Zone for Iatrogenic Neurovascular Injury in All-Inside Lateral Meniscal Repair in Relation to the Popliteal Tendon: An MRI Study.

Background: Lateral meniscal repair can endanger the nearby neurovascular structure (peroneal nerve or popliteal artery). To our knowledge, there have been no studies to evaluate the danger zone of all-inside meniscal repair through the anteromedial (AM) and anterolateral (AL) portals in relation to the medial and lateral edges of the popliteal tendon (PT).

Purpose: To establish the risk of neurovascular injury and the danger zone in repairing the lateral meniscus in relation to the medial and lateral edges of the PT.

Danger zone for screw placement in minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) of diaphyseal fractures of forearm: a cadaveric study.

Purposes: To identify the anatomical relationship between neurovascular structures and screws and to evaluate the danger zone of screw placement during minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) technique following the volar approach for the radius and the subcutaneous approach for the ulna in diaphyseal forearm fractures.

Methods: Sixteen cadaveric forearms were fixed with a 3.5-mm, 14-hole, locking compression plate (LCP) using the MIPO technique with a volar approach of the radius.

Shuttle Suture Technique for Passing Rotator Cuff Suture Through the Plate Eyelet Holes in Proximal Humerus Fixation.

The proximal humerus fracture is common in both adult and elderly patients, with an incidence of approximately 5%, of whom about 1 in 4 is treated operatively. To achieve the healing of the fracture, the operative technique is combined with an internal fixation by a locking plate and tension band rotator cuff sutures by passing the sutures through each eyelet hole of the plate and tightening them. The tension band rotator cuff sutures provide good functional and radiographic outcomes in cases of proximal humerus fracture.

The Transportal Graft Passage in Transtibial Posterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction With a Bone-Patellar Tendon-Bone Graft.

Posterior cruciate ligament injury is one of the most common problems in sports medicine. The treatment of choice for this injury is posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, which improves the biomechanical and clinical stabilities of the knee. There are many graft choices, of which the bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB) graft is a popular option.
