– See: Plantar Muscles of the Foot: Origin: there are 4 dorsal interossei which arise by double pennate fibers from the bases and sides of the bodies of adjacent bones. Insertion: base of the proximal phalanx and aponeurosis of the tendons of the Extensor digitorum longus. The first dorsal interosseus (arising from the 1st an … Read more
(See also: brachial plexus) Anatomy dorsal scapular nerve to both rhomboids is typically derived from C5 neve close to intervertebral foramen and runs downward and backward thru or across surface of middle scalene, parallel to & below accessory nerve; it then passes medial to or thru levator scapulae (to which it may give a branch) and descends on the … Read more
Diff Dx Ganglionic cyst probably the most common cause of dorsal wrist pain (when obvious causes such as frx or SLD have been ruled out); in the study by Steinberg and Kleinman (1999), 18 out of 21 patients with dorsal wrist pain had an occult scapholunate ganglion; result from cystic degeneration within scapholunate ligament and … Read more
– See: Reconstructive Foot Surgery – Discussion: – is used for coverage of distal tibia and ankle; – during dissection paratendon is left over the extensor tendon, allowing donor site to do welll, with skin graft; – to avoid devascularizing foot, the posterior tibial artery must be intact
– many techniques described with one or two tibial and one or two femoral tunnels – much biomechanical data confirms that both bundles are necessary to restore – ACL function – main findings are that PL bundle contributes to rotational stability closer to full extension – Distribution of in situ forces in the anterior … Read more
