Borne portions have been omitted as being better suited to the pages of a physio- logical work. The notes of cases in the surgical part have been curtailed but the rarest have been allowed to remain in their collected form for facility of reference. It was my intention to give a full record of the ligature of arteries in Ireland during the last twenty years ; and in order to obtain particulars, a circular was sent to every hospital surgeon in this country.

Angiography demonstrated diffuse arterial and bypass occlusion in his left leg that did not include a sural artery, which was the main collateral. Therefore, the patient underwent reversed saphenous vein bypass from the common femoral artery to the medial sural artery. His leg pain disappeared, and the ulcer healed promptly.

  • Cadaveric Atlas for Orthoplastic Lower Limb and Foot Reconstruction of Soft Tissue Defects
    Review Article Clinics in Surgery Published: 28 Jun, 2018 Cadaveric Atlas for Orthoplastic Lower Limb and Foot Reconstruction of Soft Tissue Defects Kaitlyn L Ward1, Anthony Romano1 and Edgardo R Rodriguez-Collazo2* 1Franciscan Foot & Ankle Institute, Federal Way, WA, USA 2Presence Saint Joseph Hospital, Chicago, IL, USA Abstract Soft tissue deficits or non-healing wounds are a common and challenging problem faced by the lower extremity reconstructive surgeon. These cases often end in proximal amputation, especially in those with co-morbidities, compromised angiosomes, or following significant trauma. This atlas provides a guide for surgeons to understand and treat soft tissue lower extremity defects and complications. We discuss basic orthoplastic reconstructive principles and patient work-up; thus, alleviating the need to refer to a plastic or microsurgical specialist. Additionally, incision placement, anatomy of perforators, axial flow and arc of rotation for flaps are shown for medial, lateral and anterior compartments of the lower leg as well as the foot. The muscular and fascio cutaneous flaps in this atlas can be used to cover almost all areas of the lower extremity from the knee distally to the digits. The purpose of this atlas is to serve as a guide for surgeons to more effectively treat these soft tissue defects without the need for amputation. Keywords: Orthoplastic; Reconstruction; Soft tissue defects; Flaps; Lower extremity Introduction and Preoperative Planning The first step in preparation for performing any flap is precise preoperative planning. Anatomic landmarks should be utilized to map out major neurovascular structures and perforating vessels. OPEN ACCESS Locations and patency of said vessels can be further confirmed with the use of Doppler ultrasound *Correspondence: and/or angiography if necessary.

Methods: A distally based sural flap was used for 10 cases for the hindfoot reconstruction, and a lateral supramalleolar flap was used for 3 cases for the lateral arch reconstruction of the mid- and forefoot after wide excision of malignant melanomas. Results: The length of the flap varied from 7.5 cm to 12 cm (mean, 9.6 cm) and the width varied from 6.5 cm to 12 cm (mean, 8.8 cm). Superficial necrosis developed in four flaps, but this was successfully treated by debridement and suture or a skin graft. All thirteen flaps survived completely and they provided good contour, stable and durable coverage for normal weight bearing. Conclusions: The distally based sural flap is considered to be useful for reconstructing the hindfoot, and the lateral supramalleolar flap is good for reconstructing the lateral archs of the mid- and forefoot after resection of malignant melanoma of the foot.

EL-GAMMAL , KHALED ABO-EL-SOOUD , GAMAL A. SWIELIM 1Anatomy and Embryology Department, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Cairo University, Giza, Egypt; 2Pharmacology Department, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Cairo University, Giza, Egypt. Abstract | The present study was conducted on 25 adults, healthy Egyptian native breed of geese. The arteries of the pelvic limb were demonstrated by injection of colored gum milk latex and treated by the ordinary method of preser- vation. The arterial vascularization of the pelvic limb was mainly obtained from the external iliac and ischiatic arteries. The external iliac artery supplies the pelvic limb to the level of the knee joint, while the ischiatic artery is responsible for supplying the entire limb, changing its name according to the region of the limb it supplies. The ischiatic artery terminates after giving off the sural artery and continues in the leg region as the popliteal artery. The branches of the popliteal artery supply the knee and leg regions; whereas the cranial tibial artery, the continuation of the popliteal artery, supplies the foot with its own branches. The presence of extensive arterio-venous anastomosis (rete tibio tarsale) was shown to clarify means of thermoregulation in limbs. The aim of the present work is to highlight the accurate an- gio-architecture of the pelvic limb which is pivotal for surgical interference in cases of joints, limb and foot affections in water birds. Keywords | Pelvic limb, Geese, External iliac, Ischiatic, Arterial supply.

It is a thin, pliable and sensate flap; it has been shown to reduce donor-site morbidity and result in a good aesthetic outcome. However, there are few report regarding this flap in literature. This study aims to present our experience on the use of this flap in 14 patients. This retrospective study was performed over a 6-year period (from February 2009 to February 2015) using the proximally based lateral superficial sural artery flap. The size of the flaps ranged from 6 × 5 cm to 12 × 11 cm for soft-tissue defects around the knee where there is defect sizes ranging from 5 to 10 cm in length and 4 to 9 cm in width. The donor site underwent direct suture or skin grafting. All flaps and skin grafts survived, and the wounds healed by first intention. Follow-up for all patients ranged from 3 to 18 months.

  • (Small Saphenous Artery) Piercing Through the Medial Sural Cutaneous Nerve
    Institute of Experimental Morphology, Pathology and Anthropology with Museum Bulgarian Anatomical Society Acta morphologica et anthropologica, 27 (1-2) Sofia ● 2020 A Case of Well Developed Median Superficial Sural Artery (Small Saphenous Artery) Piercing Through the Medial Sural Cutaneous Nerve Lazar Jelev*, Nikolai Krastev, Lina Malinova, Department of Anatomy, Histology and Embryology, Medical University, Sofia, Bulgaria * Corresponding author e-mail: [email protected] A case of well-developed median superficial sural artery (small saphenous artery) is reported here, found during routine student dissections of the left lower limb of an adult formalin-fixed male cadaver. This small sized artery was starting from the posterior surface of the popliteal artery and passed between the main tibial nerve and its muscular branch to the gastrocnemius medial head. Further distally, the artery pierced through the initial part of the medial sural cutaneous nerve. Along the upper calf region, the small arterial vessel was located on the lateral side of the small saphenous vein and cutaneous nerves and terminated in the lower part of the leg. The literature descriptions concerning the cutaneous popliteal artery branches are reviewed, including their application in the field of plastic and reconstructive surgery. Key words: popliteal artery; cutaneous branches; median superficial sural artery, sural nerve, human Introduction In the detailed anatomy textbooks [5, 13, 16, 19], the branches of the popliteal artery are divided into muscular, genicular (articular) and superficial. The superficial branches are described as occasionally present arteries of small size, starting directly from the popliteal artery or some of its branches and piercing through the crural fascia they supply the skin over the calf.
