Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, Beijing Jishuitan Hospital, Beijing, 100035, China.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates two surgical approaches (anterolateral and lateral) for treating coronal shear fractures of the distal humerus through open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) in a sample of 10 patients.
- Results showed that the lateral approach yielded fewer complications and better outcomes (mean Mayo elbow performance index of 91) compared to the anterolateral approach (mean MEPI of 82), which had higher rates of re-operations.
- The conclusion highlights that the lateral approach provides better joint exposure and safety for the radial nerve, although it poses challenges with trochlear exposure and potential damage to the lateral collateral ligament (LCL).

Medial plica syndrome: a review of the literature.
Clin Anat
May 2012
Department of Anatomical Sciences, School of Medicine, St George's University, Grenada, West Indies.
Article Synopsis
- Knee pain, especially medial knee pain, often stems from issues like a torn medial meniscus or inflammation of the medial plica, which can become symptomatic remnants from knee development.
- Diagnosis typically requires a physical exam and imaging, but definitive confirmation usually happens through arthroscopy, making medial plica syndrome frequently overlooked.
- Treatment options include physiotherapy, corticosteroid injections, or surgery, with many patients experiencing positive outcomes and returning to their normal activities after proper diagnosis and care.

Department of Physical Therapy, Assaf Harofeh Medical Center, Zerifin, Israel.
Article Synopsis
- - Synovial plicae are normal folds in the knee joint's synovial lining that usually don’t cause problems, but they can lead to medial plica syndrome, which results in knee pain, especially during movement.
- - Symptoms include dull, aching pain near the patella (kneecap), often worsening with activities involving knee flexion and extension.
- - Treatment options start with physical therapy and rest, but if these don't work, corticosteroid injections or surgery (like arthroscopy to remove the plica) may be necessary, with better outcomes seen in younger patients with shorter symptom durations.

Article Synopsis
- The paper examines the frequency and clinical implications of synovial plica in the knee, which are leftover tissue pouches from fetal development that can become symptomatic due to irritation or overuse.
- A study of 912 knee arthroscopies revealed that 21.8% had hypertrophic mediopatellar plica, with some cases showing no additional injuries aside from plica and chondromalacia.
- The findings indicate that plica syndrome is a significant clinical issue, particularly affecting younger individuals, especially women.

Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, University of California at San Francisco, USA.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate the anatomical relationship between the auriculotemporal nerve and nearby structures in the jaw, particularly its proximity to the mandibular condyle and related tissues.
- Eight cadaveric heads were dissected to measure the horizontal and vertical distances between the auriculotemporal nerve and the condyle, revealing that the nerve was consistently in contact with the condylar neck.
- The findings suggest a close relationship between the auriculotemporal nerve and the temporomandibular joint, potentially leading to sensory disturbances, with variations between the right and left sides implying that issues may occur unilaterally.

Facial Pain Center, College of Dentistry, University of Florida, Gainesville, USA.
Article Synopsis
- * Examination of 14 cadaver heads revealed that the sphenomandibular ligament does not attach to the medial capsule, indicating it doesn't impact TMJ mechanics.
- * Results also showed that the discomalleolar ligament is more linked to retrodiscal tissues than the medial capsule, and the auriculotemporal nerve does not interact significantly with the medial aspect of the TMJ, which means it’s unlikely to cause irritation during joint movement.
The deep peroneal nerve in the foot and ankle: an anatomic study.
Foot Ankle Int
November 1995
University of California Medical Center, San Diego 92103, USA.
Article Synopsis
- The deep peroneal nerve in the foot and ankle can be injured by trauma, repetitive stress, or medical procedures, with the distal part of the nerve being particularly vulnerable.
- A study involved examining 17 cadaver specimens to map the course of the nerve and analyze its branching patterns, revealing its location relative to surrounding muscles and arteries.
- Key findings showed that the nerve typically crosses below a specific tendon near the ankle and has two main branches that innervate muscles and provide sensation to the first toe interspace and sides of the first and second toes.

Department of Oral Radiology, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden.
Article Synopsis
- A study investigated 18 TMJ autopsy specimens to analyze the positioning of discs, as well as the pathways of nearby nerve branches using radiographic and histologic methods.
- Results showed that certain anatomical features in the TMJ region could lead to mechanical irritation of nerves, particularly in cases of displaced discs or altered joint structures.
- Findings suggest that the close proximity of various nerves to the TMJ components can explain the sharp pain experienced during jaw movements and the associated discomfort in nerve distribution areas.
