Abstract Background: The Abductor hallucis muscle (AbdH) plays an integral role during gait and is often affected in pathological foot conditions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the within and between-session intra-tester reliability using diagnostic ultrasound of the dorso-plantar thickness, medio-lateral width and cross-sectional area, of the AbdH in asymptomatic adults. Methods: The AbdH muscles of thirty asymptomatic subjects were imaged and then measured using a Philips HD11 Ultrasound machine. Interclass correlation coefficients (ICC) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were used to calculate both within and between session intra-tester reliability. Results: The within-session reliability results demonstrated for dorso-plantar thickness an ICC of 0.97 (95% CI: 0.99–0.99); medio-lateral width an ICC: of 0.97 (95% CI: 0.92–0.97) and cross- sectional area an ICC of 0.98 (95% CI: 0.98–0.99).

  • Identification and Surgical Management of Upper Arm and Forearm Compartment Syndrome
    Open Access Case Report DOI: 10.7759/cureus.5862 Identification and Surgical Management of Upper Arm and Forearm Compartment Syndrome Adel Hanandeh 1 , Vishnu R. Mani 2 , Paul Bauer 1 , Alexius Ramcharan 3 , Brian Donaldson 1 1. General Surgery, Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons at Harlem Hospital Center, New York, USA 2. Surgery, Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons at Harlem Hospital Center, New York, USA 3. Surgery, Harlem Hospital Center, New York, USA Corresponding author: Adel Hanandeh, [email protected] Abstract Extremity muscles are grouped and divided by strong fascial membranes into compartments. Multiple pathological processes can result in an increase in the pressure within a muscle compartment. An increase in the compartment pressure beyond the adequate perfusion pressure has the potential to cause extremity compartment syndrome. There are multiple sites where compartment syndrome can occur. In this article, an arm and forearm compartment syndrome ensued secondary to a minor crushing injury that lead to supracondylar and medial epicondylar non-displaced fractures. A pure motor radial and ulnar nerve deficits noted on presentation, worsened with progression of the compartment syndrome. Ultimately, a surgical fasciotomy was carried out to release all compartments of the right upper arm and forearm. Categories: General Surgery, Orthopedics, Anatomy Keywords: upper arm compartment syndrome, fasciotomy, forearm compartment syndrome, condylar fracture, pediatric supracondylar humerus fracture Introduction In 1872, the first description of compartment syndrome was published by Richard von Volkmann. His publication described an irreversible contracture of muscles due to ischemic process resulting in the first documented nerve injury and contracture from compartment syndrome.

  • Exposure of the Forearm and Distal Radius
    Exposure of the Forearm and Distal Radius Melissa A. Klausmeyer, MDa, Chaitanya Mudgal, MDb,* KEYWORDS Henry approach Thompson approach Flexor carpi radialis approach Dorsal distal radius approach Distal radius approach KEY POINTS The use of internervous planes allow access to the underlying bone without risk of denervating the overlying muscles. The choice of approach is based on the injury pattern and need for exposure. The Henry and Thompson approaches are useful for radial shaft fractures. The distal radius can be approached volarly through the flexor carpi radialis (FCR) approach or dorsally through the extended Thompson approach. The extended FCR approach is useful for intraarticular fractures of the distal radius as well as mal- unions and subacute fractures.

Methods: Thirty-five cadavers were dissected to expose the radial nerve in the forearm. Each muscular branch of the nerve was identified and their length and distance along the nerve were recorded. These values were used to determine the typical branching and motor entry orders. Results: The typical branching order was brachialis, brachioradialis, extensor carpi radialis longus, extensor carpi radialis brevis, supinator, extensor digitorum, extensor carpi ulnaris, abductor pollicis longus, extensor digiti minimi, extensor pollicis brevis, extensor pollicis longus and extensor indicis. Notably, the radial nerve often innervated brachialis (60%), and its superficial branch often innervated extensor carpi radialis brevis (25.7%). Conclusions: The radial nerve exhibits significant variability in the posterior forearm. However, there is enough consistency to identify an archetypal pattern and order of innervation. These findings may also need to be considered when planning surgical approaches to the distal arm, elbow and proximal forearm to prevent an undue loss of motor function.

Despite this, there is no available evidence of the efficacy and safety of MI lateral release. Our aim was to study 2 popular techniques for MI LR in cadavers by subsequently dissecting the released anatomical structures. Methods: Twenty-two cadaveric feet were included in the study and allocated into 2 groups, 1 for each procedure: 1 group underwent a MI adductor tendon release (AR), and in the other group, an extensive percutaneous lateral release (EPLR) (adductor tendon, suspensory ligament, phalanx-sesamoid ligament, lateral head of flexor hallucis brevis, and deep transverse metatarsal ligament) was performed. Anatomical dissection was performed to identify neurovascular injuries and to verify the released structures. Results: Both techniques demonstrated to be effective in reproducing a MI LR. A satisfactory release of the adductor tendon was achieved equally in both techniques (P = .85), being partial in most EPLR cases and full in the majority of AR cases.

  • On the Position and Course of the Deep Plantar Arteries, with Special Reference to the So-Called Plantar Metatarsal Arteries
    Okajimas Fol. anat. jap., 48: 295-322, 1971 On the Position and Course of the Deep Plantar Arteries, with Special Reference to the So-Called Plantar Metatarsal Arteries By Takuro Murakami Department of Anatomy, Okayama University Medical School, Okayama, Japan -Received for publication, June 7, 1971- Recently, we have confirmed that, as in the hand and foot of the monkey (Koch, 1939 ; Nishi, 1943), the arterial supply of the human deep metacarpus is composed of two layers ; the superficial layer on the palmar surfaces of the interosseous muscles and the deep layer within the muscles (Murakami, 1969). In that study, we pointed out that both layers can be classified into two kinds of arteries, one descending along the boundary of the interosseous muscles over the metacarpal bone (superficial and deep palmar metacarpal arteries), and the other de- scending along the boundary of the muscles in the intermetacarpal space (superficial and deep intermetacarpal arteries). In the human foot, on the other hand, the so-called plantar meta- tarsal arteries are occasionally found deep to the plantar surfaces of the interosseous muscles in addition to their usual positions on the plantar surfaces of the muscles (Pernkopf, 1943). And they are some- times described as lying in the intermetatarsal spaces (Baum, 1904), or sometimes descending along the metatarsal bones (Edwards, 1960). These circumstances suggest the existence in the human of deep planta of the two arterial layers and of the two kinds of descending arteries. There are, however, but few studies on the courses and positions of the deep plantar arteries, especially of the so-called plantar metatarsal arteries.

  • Maximum Toe Flexor Muscle Strength and Quantitative Analysis of Human
    Kurihara et al. Journal of Foot and Ankle Research 2014, 7:26 http://www.jfootankleres.com/content/7/1/26 JOURNAL OF FOOT AND ANKLE RESEARCH RESEARCH Open Access Maximum toe flexor muscle strength and quantitative analysis of human plantar intrinsic and extrinsic muscles by a magnetic resonance imaging technique Toshiyuki Kurihara1†, Junichiro Yamauchi2,3,4*†, Mitsuo Otsuka1, Nobuaki Tottori1, Takeshi Hashimoto1,2 and Tadao Isaka1 Abstract Background: The aims of this study were to investigate the relationships between the maximum isometric toe flexor muscle strength (TFS) and cross-sectional area (CSA) of the plantar intrinsic and extrinsic muscles and to identify the major determinant of maximum TFS among CSA of the plantar intrinsic and extrinsic muscles. Methods: Twenty six young healthy participants (14 men, 12 women; age, 20.4 ± 1.6 years) volunteered for the study. TFS was measured by a specific designed dynamometer, and CSA of plantar intrinsic and extrinsic muscles were measured using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). To measure TFS, seated participants optimally gripped the bar with their toes and exerted maximum force on the dynamometer. For each participant, the highest force produced amongthreetrialswasusedforfurther analysis. To measure CSA, serial T1-weighted images were acquired. Results: TFS was significantly correlated with CSA of the plantar intrinsic and extrinsic muscles. Stepwise multiple linear regression analyses identified that the major determinant of TFS was CSA of medial parts of plantar intrinsic muscles (flexor hallucis brevis, flexor digitorum brevis, quadratus plantae, lumbricals and abductor hallucis). There wasnosignificantdifferencebetweenmenandwomeninTFS/CSA. Conclusions: CSA of the plantar intrinsic and extrinsic muscles is one of important factors for determining the maximum TFS in humans.
