The following bony prominences can usually be palpated in the living subject (corresponding vertebral levels are given in brackets): •◊◊superior angle of the scapula (T2); •◊◊upper border of the manubrium sterni, the suprasternal notch (T2/3); •◊◊spine of the scapula (T3); •◊◊sternal angle (of Louis) — the transverse ridge at the manubrio-sternal junction (T4/5); •◊◊inferior angle of scapula (T8); •◊◊xiphisternal joint (T9); •◊◊lowest part of costal margin—10th rib (the subcostal line passes through L3). Note from Fig. 1 that the manubrium corresponds to the 3rd and 4th thoracic vertebrae and overlies the aortic arch, and that the sternum corre- sponds to the 5th to 8th vertebrae and neatly overlies the heart. Since the 1st and 12th ribs are difficult to feel, the ribs should be enu- merated from the 2nd costal cartilage, which articulates with the sternum at the angle of Louis. The spinous processes of all the thoracic vertebrae can be palpated in the midline posteriorly, but it should be remembered that the first spinous process that can be felt is that of C7 (the vertebra prominens). The position of the nipple varies considerably in the female, but in the male it usually lies in the 4th intercostal space about 4in (10cm) from the midline.
  • Slipping Rib Syndrome

    Slipping Rib Syndrome

    Slipping Rib Syndrome Jackie Dozier, BS Edited by Lisa E McMahon, MD FACS FAAP David M Notrica, MD FACS FAAP Case Presentation AA is a 12 year old female who presented with a 7 month history of right-sided chest/rib pain. She states that the pain was not preceded by trauma and she had never experienced pain like this before. She has been seen in the past by her pediatrician, chiropractor, and sports medicine physician for her pain. In May 2012, she was seen in the ER after having manipulations done on her ribs by a sports medicine physician. Pain at that time was constant throughout the day and kept her from sleeping. However, it was relieved with hydrocodone/acetaminophen in the ER. Case Presentation Over the following months, the pain became progressively worse and then constant. She also developed shortness of breath. She is a swimmer and says she has had difficulty practicing due to the pain and SOB. AA was seen by a pediatric surgeon and scheduled for an interventional pain management service consult for a test injection. Following good temporary relief by local injection, she was scheduled costal cartilage removal to treat her pain. What is Slipping Rib Syndrome? •Slipping Rib Syndrome (SRS) is caused by hypermobility of the anterior ends of the false rib costal cartilages, which leads to slipping of the affected rib under the superior adjacent rib. •SRS an lead to irritation of the intercostal nerve or strain of the muscles surrounding the rib. •SRS is often misdiagnosed and can lead to months or years of unresolved abdominal and/or thoracic pain.
  • Lab #23 Anal Triangle

    Lab #23 Anal Triangle

    THE BONY PELVIS AND ANAL TRIANGLE (Grant's Dissector [16th Ed.] pp. 141-145) TODAY’S GOALS: 1. Identify relevant bony features/landmarks on skeletal materials or pelvic models. 2. Identify the sacrotuberous and sacrospinous ligaments. 3. Describe the organization and divisions of the perineum into two triangles: anal triangle and urogenital triangle 4. Dissect the ischiorectal (ischioanal) fossa and define its boundaries. 5. Identify the inferior rectal nerve and artery, the pudendal (Alcock’s) canal and the external anal sphincter. DISSECTION NOTES: The perineum is the diamond-shaped area between the upper thighs and below the inferior pelvic aperture and pelvic diaphragm. It is divided anatomically into 2 triangles: the anal triangle and the urogenital (UG) triangle (Dissector p. 142, Fig. 5.2). The anal triangle is bounded by the tip of the coccyx, sacrotuberous ligaments, and a line connecting the right and left ischial tuberosities. It contains the anal canal, which pierced the levator ani muscle portion of the pelvic diaphragm. The urogenital triangle is bounded by the ischiopubic rami to the inferior surface of the pubic symphysis and a line connecting the right and left ischial tuberosities. This triangular space contains the urogenital (UG) diaphragm that transmits the urethra (in male) and urethra and vagina (in female). A. Anal Triangle Turn the cadaver into the prone position. Make skin incisions as on page 144, Fig. 5.4 of the Dissector. Reflect skin and superficial fascia of the gluteal region in one flap to expose the large gluteus maximus muscle. This muscle has proximal attachments to the posteromedial surface of the ilium, posterior surfaces of the sacrum and coccyx, and the sacrotuberous ligament.

    Approach to the Anterior Pelvis (Enneking Type III Resection) Bruno Fuchs, MD PhD & Franklin H.Sim, MD Indication 1. Tumors of the pubis 2. part of internal and external hemipelvectomy 3. pelvic fractures Technique 1. Positioning: Type III resections involve the excision of a portion of the symphysis or the whole pubis from the pubic symphysis to the lateral margin of the obturator foramen. The best position for these patients is the lithotomy or supine position. The patient is widely prepared and draped in the lithotomy position with the affected leg free to allow manipulation during the procedure. This allows the hip to be flexed, adducted, and externally rotated to facilitate exposure. 2. Landmarks: One should palpate the ASIS, the symphysis with the pubic tubercles, and the ischial tuberosity. 3. Incision: The incision may be Pfannenstiel like with vertical limbs set laterally along the horizontal incision depending on whether the pubic bones on both sides are resected or not. Alternatively, if only one side is resected, a curved incision following the root of the thigh may be used. This incision begins below the inguinal ligament along the medial border of the femoral triangle and extends across the medial thigh a centimeter distal to the inguinal crease and perineum, to curve distally below the ischium several centimeters (Fig.1). 4. Full thickness flaps are raised so that the anterior inferior pubic ramus is shown in its entire length, from the pubic tubercle to the ischial spine. Laterally, the adductor muscles are visualized, cranially the pectineus muscle and the pubic tubercle with the insertion of the inguinal ligament (Fig.2).

    Iliopectineal Ligament As an Important Landmark in Ilioinguinal Approach of the Anterior Acetabulum

    International Journal of Anatomy and Research, Int J Anat Res 2019, Vol 7(3.3):6976-82. ISSN 2321-4287 Original Research Article DOI: https://dx.doi.org/10.16965/ijar.2019.274 ILIOPECTINEAL LIGAMENT AS AN IMPORTANT LANDMARK IN ILIOINGUINAL APPROACH OF THE ANTERIOR ACETABULUM: A CADAVERIC MORPHOLOGIC STUDY Ayman Ahmed Khanfour *1, Ashraf Ahmed Khanfour 2. *1 Anatomy department Faculty of Medicine, Alexandria University, Egypt. 2 Chairman of Orthopaedic surgery department Damanhour National Medical Institute Egypt. ABSTRACT Background: The iliopectineal ligament is the most stout anterior part of the iliopectineal membrane. It separates “lacuna musculorum” laterally from “lacuna vasorum” medially. This ligament is an important guide in the safe anterior approach to the acetabulum. Aim of the work: To study the detailed anatomy of the iliopectineal ligament demonstrating its importance as a surgical landmark in the anterior approach to the acetabulum. Material and methods: The material of this work included eight adult formalin preserved cadavers. Dissection of the groin was done for each cadaver in supine position with exposure of the inguinal ligament. The iliopectineal ligament and the three surgical windows in the anterior approach to the acetabulum were revealed. Results: Results described the detailed morphological anatomy of the iliopectineal ligament as regard its thickness, attachments and variations in its thickness. The study also revealed important anatomical measurements in relation to the inguinal ligament. The distance between the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) to the pubic tubercle ranged from 6.7 to 10.1 cm with a mean value of 8.31±1.3. The distance between the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) to the blending point of the iliopectineal ligament to the inguinal ligament ranged from 1.55 to 1.92 cm with a mean value of 1.78±0.15.

    The Pelvis Structure the Pelvic Region Is the Lower Part of the Trunk

    The pelvis Structure The pelvic region is the lower part of the trunk, between the abdomen and the thighs. It includes several structures: the bony pelvis (or pelvic skeleton) is the skeleton embedded in the pelvic region of the trunk, subdivided into: the pelvic girdle (i.e., the two hip bones, which are part of the appendicular skeleton), which connects the spine to the lower limbs, and the pelvic region of the spine (i.e., sacrum, and coccyx, which are part of the axial skeleton) the pelvic cavity, is defined as the whole space enclosed by the pelvic skeleton, subdivided into: the greater (or false) pelvis, above the pelvic brim , the lesser (or true) pelvis, below the pelvic brim delimited inferiorly by the pelvic floor(or pelvic diaphragm), which is composed of muscle fibers of the levator ani, the coccygeus muscle, and associated connective tissue which span the area underneath the pelvis. Pelvic floor separate the pelvic cavity above from the perineum below. The pelvic skeleton is formed posteriorly (in the area of the back), by the sacrum and the coccyx and laterally and anteriorly (forward and to the sides), by a pair of hip bones. Each hip bone consists of 3 sections, ilium, ischium, and pubis. During childhood, these sections are separate bones, joined by the triradiate hyaline cartilage. They join each other in a Y-shaped portion of cartilage in the acetabulum. By the end of puberty the three bones will have fused together, and by the age of 25 they will have ossified. The two hip bones join each other at the pubic symphysis.
