    Netter’s Musculoskeletal Flash Cards Jennifer Hart, PA-C, ATC Mark D. Miller, MD University of Virginia This page intentionally left blank Preface In a world dominated by electronics and gadgetry, learning from fl ash cards remains a reassuringly “tried and true” method of building knowledge. They taught us subtraction and multiplication tables when we were young, and here we use them to navigate the basics of musculoskeletal medicine. Netter illustrations are supplemented with clinical, radiographic, and arthroscopic images to review the most common musculoskeletal diseases. These cards provide the user with a steadfast tool for the very best kind of learning—that which is self directed. “Learning is not attained by chance, it must be sought for with ardor and attended to with diligence.” —Abigail Adams (1744–1818) “It’s that moment of dawning comprehension I live for!” —Calvin (Calvin and Hobbes) Jennifer Hart, PA-C, ATC Mark D.

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.

Koyani Abstract Objective: Dorsalis pedis artery represents the continuation of anterior tibial artery distal to level of ankle joint. The dorsalis pedis angiosome encompasses the entire dorsal aspect of foot through its branches eg. Medial tarsal, Lateral tarsal, Arcuate and 1st dorsal metatarsal arteries. Dorsalis pedis artery variation have been reported in past. Evaluation of dorsalis pedis artery pulsation is useful clinical test for assessing peripheral arterial diseases. Dorsalis pedis artery is the main source of blood supply to foot. Knowledge about origins, course, distribution and branching pattern is important for angiographers, vascular surgeons and reconstructive surgeons who operate upon these region. Method: Study of dorsalis pedis artery was done in forty dissected lower limbs of unknown sex and age from department of anatomy, PDUMC, RAJKOT. Result: In our study normal course and branching pattern of dorsalis pedis artery was found in 87.5% cases. Variation in branching pattern of dorsalis pedis artery was found in 12.5% cases.

Materials and Methods: This study on termination of anterior tibial artery was performed on 50 (100 specimens of inferior extremities) embalmed donated cadavers (40 males & 10 females) in the department of Anatomy of K.J.Somaiya Medical College, Sion, and Mumbai, India. The dissection of the lower limb was done meticulously to expose the anterior tibial artery. The termination of anterior tibial artery was observed. The neuro muscular pattern of the lower limbs was also observed. The photographs of the termination of the anterior tibial artery were taken for proper documentation. Observations: Out of 100 specimens of inferior extremities the variant termination of anterior tibial artery was observed in 4 specimens. The anterior tibial artery divides into two dorsalis pedis arteries. Both the dorsalis pedis arteries travelled together on the dorsum of the foot up to the proximal part of the first intermetatarsal space. There were no associated altered anatomy of the nerves and muscles were observed. All the variations were unilateral. Conclusion: The awareness of the double dorsalis pedis arteries is clinically important for surgeons, plastic surgeons and orthopaedicians.

  • Clemens Attinger 10 Angiosomes and Wound Care in the Diabetic Foot
    Angiosomes and Wound Care in the Diabetic Foot a b, Mark W. Clemens, MD , Christopher E. Attinger, MD * KEYWORDS Angiosomes Wound care Diabetic foot Vascular anatomy Successful limb salvage is dependent on detailed knowledge of the vascular anatomy of the foot and ankle. The foot and ankle are composed of 6 distinct angiosomes; three-dimensional blocks of tissue fed by source arteries with functional vascular interconnections between muscle, fascia and skin. Because the foot and ankle are an end organ, their main arteries have numerous direct arterial-arterial connections that allow alternative routes of blood flow to develop if the direct route is disrupted or compromised. Understanding the boundaries of the angiosome and the vascular connections among its source arteries provides the basis for logically rather than empirically designed incisions for tissue exposure or to plan reconstructions or ampu- tations that ultimately preserve blood flow for a surgical wound to heal. Ian Taylor1 first defined the angiosome principle by expanding on the work of previous anatomists2–9 to further define the vascular anatomy of muscle and skin. He defined an angiosome as a three-dimensional anatomic unit of tissue fed by a source artery. Taylor and Minabe10 defined at least 40 angiosomes in the body that were interconnected by either reduced caliber choke vessels or by similar caliber anastomotic arteries.11,12 These choke vessels can be important safety conduits that allow one angiosome to eventually provide blood flow to an adjacent angiosome if the source artery of the latter is damaged. A unified network can be created so that one source artery can provide blood flow to multiple angiosomes beyond its immediate border.
