Anatomic landmarks of the glossopharyngeal nerve: a microsurgical anatomic study.
OBJECTIVE Compared with other lower cranial nerves, the glossopharyngeal nerve (GPhN) is well hidden within the jugular foramen, at the infratemporal fossa, and in the deep layers of the neck. This study aims to disclose the course of the GPhN and point out landmarks to aid in its exposure. METHODS The GPhN was studied in 10 cadaveric heads (20 sides) injected with colored latex for microsurg...
متن کاملAnatomic Landmarks of the Distal Radioulnar Joint
HYPOTHESIS Using Lister's tubercle and the ulnar styloid as landmarks, accurate localization of the distal radioulnar joint can be achieved without the need for an image-guided approach. METHODS Cadaveric dissection of 16 upper extremities was performed to measure the relationships between the ulnar styloid, Lister's tubercle, and the distal radioulnar joint. In each specimen, the location of...
متن کاملAnatomic Landmarks for the Radial Tunnel
BACKGROUND The posterior interosseous nerve (PIN) can be difficult to locate within the radial tunnel. The deep branch of the radial nerve (DBRN) enters the supinator muscle after passing under the arcade of Fröhse. It courses through the superficial portion of the supinator muscle to exit distally as the PIN. Anatomic landmarks could facilitate diagnosis and treatment of radial tunnel syndrome...
متن کاملAnatomic Landmarks for the First Dorsal Compartment
OBJECTIVE Knowledge of anatomic landmarks for the first dorsal compartment can assist clinicians with management of de Quervain's disease. The radial styloid, the scaphoid tubercle, and Lister's tubercle can be used as superficial landmarks for the first dorsal compartment. METHODS Thirty-two cadaveric wrists were dissected, and measurements were taken from the predetermined landmarks to the ...
متن کاملAnatomic Landmarks in the Sleeve Gastrectomy
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The vertical sleeve gastrectomy is a common bariatric procedure. The operation is relatively standard, but there are still variations among surgeons. The two main variations are bougie size and extent of distal resection. Some surgeons will start the gastric resection at 2 cm proximal to the pylorus, whereas others start at 6 cm. Our hypothesis is that there are anatom...
