– Discussion: – it is not a separate ligament but is condensation of fibers of origin of popliteus and helps form the arcuate complex: – arcuate ligament is a Y shaped condensation of fibers that courses from the fibular head, over the popliteus, to insert on the posterior capsule; … Read more
– See: – Metabolic Acidosis – Resp. Acidosis – Metabolic Alkalosis – Resp. Alkalosis – Decreased PaCO2: – if PaCOz is less than 35 mmHg and pH more than 7.45, the patient is hyperventilated and the respiratory frequency or IMV rate of … Read more
– Discussion: – in middle of the arm, ulnar nerve pierces medial intermuscular septum and descends in front of the medial head of the triceps; – in 70-80% of individuals, nerve passes under arcade of Struthers; – the arcade is a thin aponeurotic band extending from medial head of … Read more
– Discusison: – w/ application of severe AP force, hemipelvis rotates externally until posterior iliac wing contacts posteior sacrum; – continued force rips posterior SI ligaments, completely dissconecting hemipelvis from the sacrum; – APC III have highest rate of assoc injury, including retroperitoneal bleeding; – by definition then, an … Read more

– Discussion: – in most cases, antegrade screw insertion across the fracture site, will result in fracture site compression; – once the medial threads have passed the fracture site, fracture compression usually takes place; – remove one of the two hexagonal nuts, and then advance the remaining screw up … Read more
– See: – Plating Techniques – Technique: – incision begins in front of radial styloid process, extending proximally in straight line along anteromedial border of the brachioradialis; – brachioradialis is reflected laterally to expose superficial radial nerve in proximal portion; – avoid injury this nerve as … Read more
– Positioning: – foley and appropriate IV access established; – place patient into left lateral decubitus position (L side up) – break table in the middle; – Incision and Exposure: – incision is made along 10th rib which then curves along anterior abdomen as appropriate (based on size of patient); – 10th rib is identified, … Read more
– Discussion: – involves tearing of both anterior SI ligaments of floor of pelvis (sacrotuberous and sacrospinous); – involves a widened anterior SI joint & injury to anterior ring (usually a symphysis diastasis) best seen on the Inlet view; – may be bilateral or unilateral; – this … Read more
– See: – Pillar View – Discussion: – this view demonstrates C3 thru C7 vertebral bodies, spinous processes and lateral masses; – Evaluates: – lateral mass fractures – sagittal plane frxs (also called vertical compression frx) may be visualized on the anteroposterior view; – this view … Read more
