Data Trace Editor – Anatomy: – humeral origin of MCL lies posterior to axis of elbow flexion, creating cam effect; – hence, anterior fibers are stressed in extension & posterior fibers are stressed in flexion; – anterior oblique, posterior oblique ligament, & small transverse ligament are 3 major portions of the … Read more
– Anatomy: – MCL is composed of superficial & deep portions; – superficial MCL: – anatomically this is the second (middle) layer of the medial compartment; – proximal attachment: posterior aspect of medial femoral condyle; – 3.2 mm proximal and 4.8 … Read more
– Discussion: – may lessen the distraction of the medial arch at the superomedial portion of spring ligament (lessens ligament tension); – may make the achilles tendon a better invertor and less of an evertor of the subtalar joint during walking; – compensates for talo-calcaneal valgus, and may … Read more
– Discussion: – allow visualization of medial epicondyle, trochlea, and ulnar nerve are – approach is used for a total elbow arthroplasty; – proximally the interval lies between the brachialis and triceps, where as distally the interval lies between the brachialis and MCL; – avoid … Read more
– See: Anteromedial Approach – Discussion: – may be used for frx dislocations of talus, traumatic injuries to ankle joint, and osteochondritis dissecans of the talus; – disadvantages: possible to injure the tibial vessels and nerves; – incision: – centered on malleolus & is made … Read more
– Discussion: – optimal age for the medial approach: – is of more value in the child younger than 18 months but older than 7 months; – when this procedure is used in infants younger than 7 months, there may be a higher risk of AVN, but some authors feel that the risk of AVN … Read more
– Anatomy: – innervation: (C8, T1); – medial antebrachial cutaneous nerve descends in the arm anterior and medial to brachial artery; – at distal to mid forearm level, nerve emerges from under brachial fascia adjacent to basilic vein; – it innervates the skin of anterior & medial … Read more
