Pedicle screw loosening is a common and significant complication after posterior spinal instrumentation, particularly in osteoporosis. Radiolucent carbon fiber-reinforced polyetheretherketone (CF/PEEK) pedicle screws have been developed recently to overcome drawbacks of conventional metallic screws, such as metal-induced imaging artifacts interference with postoperative radiotherapy. Beyond radiolucency, CF/PEEK may also be advantageous over standard titanium terms due its unique material...
Neuropathy of the Baxter nerve (BN) seems to be first cause heel pain syndrome (HPS) neurological origin.41 alcohol-glycerol embalmed feet were dissected. We documented pattern branches tibial (TN) and describe all relevant osteofibrous structures. Measurements for TN related Dellon-McKinnon malleolar-calcaneal line also called DM (DML) proximal TT Heimkes Triangle distal TT. Additionally, we performed an ultrasound-guided injection procedure BN provide algorithm clinical usage.The division...
Study Design. A biomechanical study of ten human thoracolumbar (T7-L2) spine specimens was performed. Objective. To analyse the characteristics a Tether pedicle screw (TPS) in long-segment instrumentation terms proximal junction mechanics and transitional motion patterns. Summary Background Data. Adult spinal deformity correction carries high junctional failure risk. soft-landing construct at rigid cranial end might reduce kyphosis (PJK) (PJF) risks. Therefore, novel TPS designed to mitigate...
Anatomical embalming forms a mainstay in the provision of teaching materials based on human post-mortem tissues. As consequence regulations worldwide to minimize use formaldehyde due its harmful nature, effective measures must be taken application anatomy laboratory. This study aimed identify commonalities among protocols used Austrian, German and Swiss anatomies reduce usage provide foundation for joint accreditation. Survey data all procedures, technologies chemicals related were collected...
Abstract Purpose Inguinodynia or chronic post-herniorrhaphy pain, defined as pain lasting longer than 3 months after open inguinal hernia repair, has become the most important complication surgery and therefore compromises patient´s quality of life. A major reason for inguinodynia might be lack neuroanatomical knowledge suboptimal “management” nerves during surgery. Methods We present a detailed neuroanatomic mapping region by dissection including surgical landmarks with all confirmed...
The aim of this study is to provide a safe ultrasound-guided minimally invasive surgical approach for proximal tarsal tunnel release concerning nerve entrapments.The was carried out on ten fresh-frozen feet. All them were examined by high resolution ultrasound at the medial ankle region. marked throughout course flexor retinaculum (laciniate ligament). Once previous steps done, technique with 2-mm entry only. As result, an effective and obtained in all feet.The results our anatomic indicate...
We investigated the nonrecurrent inferior laryngeal nerve (nrILN), an important variant in course of (ILN; 0.5-6.0%). Its importance was demonstrated a clinical case as well cadaver specimens, and pattern identified with intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM).The ILN presence nrILN were 36 formaldehyde-embalmed specimens. Our anatomic findings showed differences thus produced possible explanations for different IONM signals that would correlate ILN. Preoperative ultrasonographic evaluation...
Abstract Frequent complications arising from low anterior resections include urinary and fecal incontinence, as well sexual disorders, which are commonly associated with damage to the pelvic autonomic nerves during surgery. To assist surgeon in preserving nerves, a novel approach for intraoperative neuromonitoring was investigated that is based on impedance measurements of innervated organs. The objective this work develop an algorithm called AMINA classify bioimpedance signals, goal...
The aim of this study was to provide a safe ultrasound-guided minimally invasive surgical approach for distal tarsal tunnel release concerning nerve entrapments.The carried out on ten fresh-frozen feet. All them have been examined by high-resolution ultrasound at the tunnel. has marked throughout course medial intermuscular septum (MIS, lateral fascia abductor hallucis muscle). After previous steps, decompression through MIS 2.5 mm (± 0.5 mm) portal. As result, an effective obtained in all...
Abstract Hypoparathyroidism remains one of the most common complications in thyroid surgery. This study aims for an improved understanding complexity blood supply and localisation parathyroids compared to two important intraoperative landmarks: inferior laryngeal nerve (ILN) Zuckerkandl’s tubercle (ZT). We examined 103 compounds classify parathyroids. For we defined a Cartesian coordinate system with ZT plane as x-axis course y-axis. The artery (ITA) mainly supplies parathyroids, whereas...
To identify the anatomical variations of main branches external carotid artery (lingual, facial, occipital, ascending pharyngeal and sternocleidomastoid), giving information about calibers origins with aim creating a new classification useful in clinical practice. 193 human embalmed body-donors were dissected. The data collected analyzed using Chi² test. results previous studies reviewed. majority anterior arterial (superior thyroid, facial lingual artery) observed an independent origin,...
Chronic non-healing wounds pose a global health challenge. Under optimized conditions, skin heal by the formation of scar tissue. However, deregulated cell activation leads to persistent inflammation and granulation tissue, type premature tissue without epithelialization. Regenerative cells from wound periphery contribute healing process, but little is known about their cellular fate in an inflammatory, macrophage-dominated microenvironment.We examined CD45-/CD31-/CD34+ preadipocytes CD68+...
Abstract Purpose To present a safety-optimized ultrasound-guided minimal invasive carpal tunnel release (CTR) procedure. Materials and Methods 104 patients (67 female, 37 male; mean age 60.6 ± 14.3 years, 95% CI 57.9 to 63.4 years) with clinical electrophysiological verified typical syndrome were referred for high-resolution ultrasound of the median nerve then consecutively assigned an CTR after exclusion possible secondary causes such as tumors, tendovaginitis, ganglia contraindications...
The aim was to develop a new laparoscopic technique for placement of pudendal lead.Development direct, feasible and reliable minimal-invasive approach the nerve (PN). Thirty-one embalmed human specimens were dissected relevant anatomic structures pelvis. Step-by-step documentation analysis in order locate PN directly its course around medial part sacrospinous ligament test this feasibility. Landmarks intraoperative navigation towards as well possible position an lead selected...
We established a detailed sonographic approach to the bicipital aponeurosis (BA), because different pathologies of this, sometimes underestimated, structure are associated with vascular, neural and muscular lesions; emphasizing its further implementation in routine clinical examinations.The BA 100 volunteers, sitting position elbow lying on suitable table, was investigated. Patients were aged between 18 28 no history distal biceps injury. Examination performed using an 18-6 MHz linear...
The development in interventional respiratory medicine entails the need of bronchial anatomical knowledge, whose variations assume their greatest importance nowadays. aim this study was to describe frequency these and analyze lengths, barely registered before literature. This observational descriptive (from June 2018 until April 2019) conducted a sample 17 pairs lungs, which were dissected measured at Cadaver Donation Centre (Universidad Complutense, Madrid), second 50 bronchoscopies,...
