Morphological and Biomechanical Implications of Cuboid Facet of the Navicular Bone in the Gait
Int. J. Morphol., 37(4):1397-1403, 2019. Morphological and Biomechanical Implications of Cuboid Facet of the Navicular Bone in the Gait Implicaciones Morfológicas y Biomecánicas de la Faceta Cuboídea del Navicular en la Marcha Eduardo Saldías1; Assumpció Malgosa1; Xavier Jordana1 & Albert Isidro2 SALDÍAS, E.; MALGOSA, A.; JORDANA, X. & ISIDRO, A. Morphological and biomechanical implications of cuboid facet of the navicular bone in the gait. Int. J. Morphol., 37(4):1397-1403, 2019. SUMMARY: The cuboid facet of the navicular bone is an irregular flat surface, present in non-human primates and some human ancestors. In modern humans, it is not always present and it is described as an “occasional finding”. To date, there is not enough data about its incidence in ancient and contemporary populations, nor a biomechanical explanation about its presence or absence. The aim of the study was to evaluate the presence of the cuboid facet in ancient and recent populations, its relationship with the dimensions of the midtarsal bones and its role in the biomechanics of the gait. 354 pairs of naviculars and other tarsal bones from historical and contemporary populations from Catalonia, Spain, have been studied. We used nine measurements applied to the talus, navicular, and cuboid to check its relationship with facet presence. To analyze biomechanical parameters of the facet, X-ray cinematography was used in living patients. The results showed that about 50 % of individuals developed this surface without differences about sex or series. We also observed larger sagittal lengths of the talar facet (LSAGTAL) in navicular bones with cuboid facet. No significant differences were found in the bones contact during any of the phases of the gait. -
The Femoral Hernia: Some Necessary Additions
International Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2014, 5, 752-765 Published Online July 2014 in SciRes. http://www.scirp.org/journal/ijcm http://dx.doi.org/10.4236/ijcm.2014.513102 The Femoral Hernia: Some Necessary Additions Ljubomir S. Kovachev Department of General Surgery, Medical University, Pleven, Bulgaria Email: [email protected] Received 28 April 2014; revised 27 May 2014; accepted 26 June 2014 Copyright © 2014 by author and Scientific Research Publishing Inc. This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract Purpose: The anatomic region through which most inguinal hernias emerge is overcrowded by various anatomical structures with intricate relationships. This is reflected by the wide range of anatomic interpretations. Material and Methods: A prospective anatomic study of over 100 fresh cadavers and 47 patients operated on for femoral hernias. Results: It was found that the transver- salis fascia did not continue distally into the lymphatic lacuna. Medially this fascia did not reach the lacunar ligament, but was rather positioned above it forming laterally the vascular sheath. Here the fascia participates in the formation of a fossa, which varies in width and depth—the pre- peritoneal femoral fossa. The results did not confirm the presence of a femoral canal. The dis- tances were measured between the pubic tubercle and the medial margin of the femoral vein, and between the inguinal and the Cooper’s ligaments. The results clearly indicate that in women with femoral hernias these distances are much larger. Along the course of femoral hernia exploration we established the presence of three zones that are rigid and narrow. -

Classification System of the Tibiofibular Syndesmosis Blood Supply and Its
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Classifcation system of the tibiofbular syndesmosis blood supply and its clinical relevance Received: 16 February 2018 Izabela Mróz1, Piotr J. Bachul1,2, Krzysztof A. Tomaszewski1, Tomasz Bereza1, Krzysztof Gil3, Accepted: 7 June 2018 Jerzy A. Walocha1 & Artur Pasternak 1 Published: xx xx xxxx Due to the lack of anatomical studies concerning complexity of the tibiofbular syndesmosis blood supply, density of blood vessels with further organization of syndesmotic vascular variations is presented in clinically relevant classifcation system. The material for the study was obtained from cadaveric dissections. We dissected 50 human ankles observing diferent types of arterial blood supply. Our classifcation system is based on the vascular variations of the anterior aspect of tibiofbular syndesmosis and corresponds with vascular density. According to our study the mean vascular density of tibiofbular syndesmosis is relatively low (4.4%) and depends on the type of blood supply. The highest density was observed among ankles with complete vasculature and the lowest when lateral anterior malleolar artery was absent (5.8% vs. 3.5%, respectively). Awareness of various types of tibiofbular syndesmosis arterial blood supply is essential for orthopedic surgeons who operate in the ankle region and radiologists for the anatomic evaluation of this area. Knowledge about possible variations along with relatively low density of vessels may contribute to modifcation of treatment approach by the increase of the recommended time of syndesmotic screw stabilization in order to prevent healing complications. Tibiofbular syndesmosis is a fbrous connection localized between the fbular notch of the tibia and medial surface of the lateral ankle. -

Reconstructive
RECONSTRUCTIVE Angiosomes of the Foot and Ankle and Clinical Implications for Limb Salvage: Reconstruction, Incisions, and Revascularization Christopher E. Attinger, Background: Ian Taylor introduced the angiosome concept, separating the M.D. body into distinct three-dimensional blocks of tissue fed by source arteries. Karen Kim Evans, M.D. Understanding the angiosomes of the foot and ankle and the interaction among Erwin Bulan, M.D. their source arteries is clinically useful in surgery of the foot and ankle, especially Peter Blume, D.P.M. in the presence of peripheral vascular disease. Paul Cooper, M.D. Methods: In 50 cadaver dissections of the lower extremity, arteries were injected Washington, D.C.; New Haven, with methyl methacrylate in different colors and dissected. Preoperatively, each Conn.; and Millburn, N.J. reconstructive patient’s vascular anatomy was routinely analyzed using a Dopp- ler instrument and the results were evaluated. Results: There are six angiosomes of the foot and ankle originating from the three main arteries and their branches to the foot and ankle. The three branches of the posterior tibial artery each supply distinct portions of the plantar foot. The two branches of the peroneal artery supply the anterolateral portion of the ankle and rear foot. The anterior tibial artery supplies the anterior ankle, and its continuation, the dorsalis pedis artery, supplies the dorsum of the foot. Blood flow to the foot and ankle is redundant, because the three major arteries feeding the foot have multiple arterial-arterial connections. By selectively performing a Doppler examination of these connections, it is possible to quickly map the existing vascular tree and the direction of flow. -
Vascular Anatomy of the Free Fibula Flap Including the Lateral Head of the Soleus Muscle Applied to Maxillo-Mandibular Reconstruction
Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy (2019) 41:447–454 https://doi.org/10.1007/s00276-018-2166-2 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Vascular anatomy of the free fibula flap including the lateral head of the soleus muscle applied to maxillo-mandibular reconstruction Lara Nokovitch1,2 · Julien Davrou2 · François Bidault4 · Bernard Devauchelle2 · Stéphanie Dakpé2 · Christian Vacher3,5 Received: 1 May 2018 / Accepted: 8 December 2018 / Published online: 14 December 2018 © Springer-Verlag France SAS, part of Springer Nature 2018 Abstract Purpose Initially described by Baudet in 1982, the fibula flap including the lateral head of the soleus muscle allows a one- stage reconstruction for large maxillo-mandibular defects. The aim of this study was to evaluate the number of muscular branches destined to the soleus muscle and their distance from the origin of the fibular artery, to assess the vascular anatomy of the free fibula flap including the lateral head of the soleus muscle applied to maxillo-mandibular reconstruction. Methods We performed a cadaveric anatomic study on ten lower limbs, and a CT angiography anatomic study on 38 legs. The number of soleus branches originating from the fibular artery, and the distance between the origin of the fibular artery and each of the identified branches were measured. Results The number of soleus branches destined to the lateral head of the soleus muscle is variable, with in our study 1–3 branches found. Soleus branches destined to the lateral head of the soleus muscle emerged at a distance ranging between 0 and 2.9 cm (mean value = 1.82 cm) from the origin of the fibular artery in 40% of cases, between 3 and 5.9 cm (mean value = 4.27 cm) from the origin of the fibular artery in 37% of cases, and was at a distance of 6 cm or more (mean value = 6.93 cm) from the origin of the fibular artery in 20% of cases. -
