  • Effect of Preservation of the C-6 Spinous Process and Its Paraspinal Muscular Attachment on the Prevention of Postoperative Axial Neck Pain in C3–6 Laminoplasty
    SPINE CLINICAL ARTICLE J Neurosurg Spine 22:221–229, 2015 Effect of preservation of the C-6 spinous process and its paraspinal muscular attachment on the prevention of postoperative axial neck pain in C3–6 laminoplasty Eiji Mori, MD, Takayoshi Ueta, MD, PhD, Takeshi Maeda, MD, PhD, Itaru Yugué, MD, PhD, Osamu Kawano, MD, PhD, and Keiichiro Shiba, MD, PhD Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Spinal Injuries Center, Iizuka, Fukuoka, Japan OBJECT Axial neck pain after C3–6 laminoplasty has been reported to be significantly lesser than that after C3–7 laminoplasty because of the preservation of the C-7 spinous process and the attachment of nuchal muscles such as the trapezius and rhomboideus minor, which are connected to the scapula. The C-6 spinous process is the second longest spinous process after that of C-7, and it serves as an attachment point for these muscles. The effect of preserving the C-6 spinous process and its muscular attachment, in addition to preservation of the C-7 spinous process, on the preven- tion of axial neck pain is not well understood. The purpose of the current study was to clarify whether preservation of the paraspinal muscles of the C-6 spinous process reduces postoperative axial neck pain compared to that after using nonpreservation techniques. METHODs The authors studied 60 patients who underwent C3–6 double-door laminoplasty for the treatment of cervi- cal spondylotic myelopathy or cervical ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament; the minimum follow-up period was 1 year. Twenty-five patients underwent a C-6 paraspinal muscle preservation technique, and 35 underwent a C-6 nonpreservation technique.

  • Scapular Winging Is a Rare Disorder Often Caused by Neuromuscular Imbalance in the Scapulothoracic Stabilizer Muscles
    SCAPULAR WINGING Scapular winging is a rare disorder often caused by neuromuscular imbalance in the scapulothoracic stabilizer muscles. Lesions of the long thoracic nerve and spinal accessory nerves are the most common cause. Patients report diffuse neck, shoulder girdle, and upper back pain, which may be debilitating, associated with abduction and overhead activities. Accurate diagnosis and detection depend on appreciation on comprehensive physical examination. Although most cases resolve nonsurgically, surgical treatment of scapular winging has been met with success. True incidence is largely unknown because of under diagnosis. Most commonly it is categorized anatomically as medial or lateral shift of the inferior angle of the scapula. Primary winging occurs when muscular weakness disrupts the normal balance of the scapulothoracic complex. Secondary winging occurs when pathology of the shoulder joint pathology. Delay in diagnosis may lead to traction brachial plexopathy, periscapular muscle spasm, frozen shoulder, subacromial impingement, and thoracic outlet syndrome. Anatomy and Biomechanics Scapula is rotated 30° anterior on the chest wall; 20° forward in the sagittal plane; the inferior angle is tilted 3° upward. It serves as the attachment site for 17 muscles. The trapezius muscle accomplishes elevation of the scapula in the cranio-caudal axis and upward rotation. The serratus anterior and pectoralis major and minor muscles produce anterior and lateral motion, described as scapular protraction. Normal Scapulothoracic abduction: As the limb is elevated, the effect is an upward and lateral rotation of the inferior pole of scapula. Periscapular weakness resulting from overuse may manifest as scapular dysfunction (ie, winging). Serratus Anterior Muscle Origin From the first 9 ribs Insert The medial border of the scapula.

The clinical presentation, including symptoms, physical examination, pathology, etiology, and treatment differences among neurogenic, venous, and arterial TOS syndromes. This review details the diagnostic testing required to differentiate among the associated conditions and recommends appropriate medical or surgical treatment for each compression syndrome. The long- term outcomes of patients with TOS and pectoralis minor syndrome also vary and depend on duration of symptoms before initiation of physical therapy and surgical intervention. Overall, it can be expected that 480% of patients with these compression syndromes can experience functional improvement of their upper extremity; higher for arterial and venous TOS than for neurogenic compression. & 2015 Published by Elsevier Inc. 1.

Evaluation and treatment occur simultaneously. Learning Outcomes: 1. By the end of the seminar, learners will be able to correctly identify (palpate) 75 facial seams of soft-tissue structures within the spine. 2. By the end of the seminars, learners will be able to correctly state the muscle actions of two adjacent spinal muscles. 3. By the end of the seminar, learners will be able to effectively recognize common symptom patterns of spinal neuromuscular injuries and disorders. 4. By the end of the seminar, learners will correctly identify the structure treated and associated concentric and eccentric muscle actions via video presentations. 5. By the end of the seminar, the learner will correctly move the muscle from its shortened position to elongated position using two-hand placement techniques. 6. By the end of the seminar, the learner can successfully differentiate between healthy and unhealthy tissue utilizing hands-on palpation techniques. 7. By the end of the seminar, the learner will proficiently palpate 75 anatomical soft-tissue structures within the spine, using an appropriate tension, depth, and motion to properly perform the treatment protocol.

  • The Facial Artery of the Dog
    Oka jimas Folia Anat. Jpn., 57(1) : 55-78, May 1980 The Facial Artery of the Dog By MOTOTSUNA IRIFUNE Department of Anatomy, Osaka Dental University, Osaka (Director: Prof. Y. Ohta) (with one textfigure and thirty-one figures in five plates) -Received for Publication, November 10, 1979- Key words: Facial artery, Dog, Plastic injection, Floor of the mouth. Summary. The course, branching and distribution territories of the facial artery of the dog were studied by the acryl plastic injection method. In general, the facial artery was found to arise from the external carotid between the points of origin of the lingual and posterior auricular arteries. It ran anteriorly above the digastric muscle and gave rise to the styloglossal, the submandibular glandular and the ptery- goid branches. The artery continued anterolaterally giving off the digastric, the inferior masseteric and the cutaneous branches. It came to the face after sending off the submental artery, which passed anteromedially, giving off the digastric and mylohyoid branches, on the medial surface of the mandible, and gave rise to the sublingual artery. The gingival, the genioglossal and sublingual plical branches arose from the vessel, while the submental artery gave off the geniohyoid branches. Posterior to the mandibular symphysis, various communications termed the sublingual arterial loop, were formed between the submental and the sublingual of both sides. They could be grouped into ten types. In the face, the facial artery gave rise to the mandibular marginal, the anterior masseteric, the inferior labial and the buccal branches, as well as the branch to the superior, and turned to the superior labial artery.
