Disruption of the interosseous membrane is easily missed in patients with Essex-Lopresti syndrome. None of the imaging techniques available for diagnosing disruption of the interosseous membrane are completely dependable. We undertook an investigation to identify whether a simple intra-operative test could be used to diagnose disruption of the interosseous membrane during surgery for fracture o...

Eight years ago a 64-year-old diabetic man began having one or two minute attacks of lightheadedness, vertigo, blurred vision and occasional paresthesia in both sides of the face and the lips. Two years prior to admission, he had had one episode of vision loss in the left eye for 20 to 30 seconds. The neurological examination on admission showed normal limits. The cerebral angiograms revealed: ...

Occipital artery (OA) to the posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) bypass is indispensable for the management of complex aneurysms of the PICA that cannot be reconstructed with surgical clipping or coil embolization. Although OA-PICA bypass is a comparatively standard procedure, the bypass is difficult to perform in some cases because of the location and situation of the PICA. We describe...

Several similar projections utilizing cranial and caudal angulation of the X-ray tube in various obliquities have been described recently for coronary angiography and left ventriculography. These views provide improved visualization of the proximal branches of the left coronary artery, the region of the crux of the right coronary artery, and the left ventricle in the left anterior oblique proje...

OBJECTIVE The relationship of Gantzer muscle to the median and anterior interosseous nerve is debated. METHODS Ìn an anatomical study with 80 limbs from 40 cadavers the incidence, origin, insertion, nerve supply and relations of Gantzer muscle have been documented. RESULTS The muscle was found in 54 forearms (68% of limbs) and was supplied by the anterior interosseous nerve. It arose from t...
