Although the margin convergence (MC) technique has been recognized as an option for rotator cuff repair, little is known about the biomechanical effect on repaired rotator cuff muscle, especially after supplemented footprint repair. The purpose of this study was to assess the passive stiffness changes of the supraspinatus (SSP) muscle after MC techniques using shear wave elastography (SWE). A 3...

With this idea, similar to mesh-based hernia repair, health-care professionals aim to decrease anatomical recurren...

Anatomic variations have a significant impact in general and oncological surgery, often necessitating modification of surgical techniques or leading to intraoperative complications. Difficult variant anatomy is cited as contributing factor injuries attributed errors. In order investigate the influence anatomical on procedures, literature search was conducted based key words potentially eligible...

variations in arterial anatomy are less frequent, contrary to the venous system, and most of these variations affect visceral arteries. variations in the brachial artery are the most frequently reported and so far a minimum of six different patterns have been described. the most common of these patterns is the superficial brachial artery, which lies superficially to the median nerve. much less ...
