Data Trace Editor – See: Distal Femoral Osteotomy – Discussion: – usually involves a medial closing wedge osteotomy of the distal femur (supracondylar region) fixed with a blade plate; – femoral osteotomy is sometimes reserved for valgus deformities of > 12 deg and > 10 deviation of the knee joint from horizontal; … Read more
– See: – Anterior Compartment – Superficial Poserior Compartment – Deep Posterior Compartment – Anatomy: – lateral compartment contains only 2 muscles, peroneus brevis, & longus, which serve primarily as plantarflexors and evertors of foot; – superficial peroneal nerve runs in … Read more
– See: – Lateral Compartment of the Knee: – Frx of Proximal Fibula: – Varus Stress Testing: – Discussion: – lateral collateral ligament is primary restraint to varus angulation; – LCL also acts to resist Internal Rotation forces; – cutting of LCL in … Read more
– Discussion: – usually arises from lateral side of deep femoral artery; – in 15% of pts, it arises from femoral artery above profunda; – LFCA passes laterally in front of Psoas & between branches of Femoral Nerve; – passes deep to Sartorius & rectus femoris, and … Read more
– See: Extensor Mechanism of Fingers – Discussion: – two lateral bands arise from the sides of the EDC just proximal to the PIP; – interossei supplement the lateral bands on both sides of the digit; – lumbricals supplement lateral bands on radial side of the digit; … Read more
An Extended Approach for the Vascular Pedicle of the Lateral Arm Free Flap. Further Experience With the Lateral Arm Free Flap. The Lateral Arm Fascial Free Flap: Its Anatomy and Use in Reconstruction.
– Lateral Approach: – incision is made directly lateral in thigh & thru midpoint of lateral condyle distally, staying anterior to proximal insertion of LCL; – proximal exposure: – incision is extended as necessary for diaphyseal involvement of the supracondylar frx; – … Read more
– See: Kocher Approach to Elbow: – Discussion: – allows exposure of lateral column (for condylar frx), capitellum, and radial head, – it can also be used for Monteggia frx as well as for exposure for PIN decompression; – lateral approach is not optimal for complex … Read more
– Discussion: – it is a continuation of musculocutaneous nerve originating from C5 – C8 nerve roots and lateral cord of brachial plexus; – be aware of the frequent anatomic variation as it crosses the elbow; – becomes superficial at anterolateral aspect of elbow between biceps and brachialis muscle; … Read more
– Discussion: – Lapidus procedure is indicated for w/ severe hallux valgus deformity + a hypermobile 1st ray; – procedure involves: arthrodesis of metatarsalcuneiform joint – note that shortening of metatarsal will occur if large biplanar wedge is resected from the joint; – therefore, minimal cartilage resection is optimal technique; – incidence of pseudoarthrosis is … Read more
