Variations in course of the arteries are well documented. Knowledge of the variation of the arterial system is important during vascular and reconstructive surgeries, in the evaluation of angiographic images. During routine anatomical dissection of upper limb ,of adult male cadaver of 55 years in Department of anatomy, SNMC, Agra, we came across a variant origin of the ulnar artery, instead of ...

Nerve compression syndromes are a common cause of pain, sensory disturbance, and motor weakness in both the upper and the lower extremities. Although carpal tunnel syndrome is frequently diagnosed and treated surgically with success, other compression syndromes are less common and are often best treated nonsurgically. Understanding the anatomy of the major peripheral nerves with respect to inte...

BACKGROUND Large soft tissue defects of ankle and foot always have been challenging to reconstruct. Reverse sural flaps, free flaps have been used for this problem with variable success. Reverse peroneal artery flap is an option to use with reliability without microvascular repair. Connections of peroneal artery around talus and ankle joint are deep and reliable with anterior tibial and post...

BACKGROUND The reconstruction of the posterior trunk, especially with large dead spaces, remains challenging. Regional muscle flaps may lack adequate volume and reach. The purpose of this report was to evaluate the efficacy of deepithelialized free-style perforator-based propeller flaps to obliterate defects with large dead space. METHODS A total of 7 patients with defects on the posterior tr...

BACKGROUND Indications for expanded endoscopic approaches continue to grow, resulting in larger and more complex skull base defects. Reconstructive developments, however, have lagged our extirpative capabilities. As the complexity of clinical scenarios continues to escalate, challenging our current reconstructive strategies, we are compelled to develop alternative techniques to prevent cerebro...

Neurostenalgia is a neuropathic pain that results from continuing irritation of an anatomically intact nerve by a noxious agent. The pain resolves promptly after surgical release of the nerve. The authors report a case of neurostenalgia of the radial nerve in which the posterior interosseous branch was compressed at the arcade of Frohse, presenting with severe arm and elbow pain. The pain was i...

Reconstruction of small dural defects is independent of which technique is used, and vascularized tissue does not appear to be critical. In contrast, large dural defects have been traditionally repaired using regional vascularized flaps, as they promote healing and diminish complications. Recently, novel regional vascularized flaps that do not require cutaneous incisions have been designed: nas...

ntrapment of the radial nerve, specifically the deep branch of the radial nerve (DBRN) in the arcade of Frohse, was first described in 1963.1 Prolonged entrapment may lead to a constellation of symptoms described in posterior interosseous nerve (PIN) paralysis.2 Reported attempts at diagnosis using imaging have mostly involved magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), with a limited number of studies c...
