Introduction The gluteus maximus muscle is the largest and most powerful muscle in the gluteal region of the body. It is the most superficial of the three gluteal muscles, covering all of the others except for a small part of the gluteus medius muscle. The gluteus maximus slopes inferiolaterally at a 45° angle from the pelvis to the buttocks [1]. The approximate superior two-thirds of fibers of...

A safe, cheap, reliable method of bone storage is required for much arthroplasty revision surgery. We have screwed the femoral head taken from a primary hip arthroplasty to the ipsilateral iliac wing and, at a later date, harvested it for use in a contralateral revision hip arthroplasty. Case report. A 58-year-old woman with a history of bilateral hip degeneration had had a cemented double cup ...

We present two cases of patients who reported quadriceps femoris weakness and hypoesthesia over the anterior thigh after an inguinal hernia repair under transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block. Transient femoral nerve palsy is the result of local anesthetic incorrectly injected between transversus abdominis muscle and transversalis fascia and pooling around the femoral nerve. Although it is a m...

Episacral lipoma is a small, tender subcutaneous nodule primarily occurring over the posterior iliac crest. Episacral lipoma is a significant and treatable cause of acute and chronic low back pain. Episacral lipoma occurs as a result of tears in the thoracodorsal fascia and subsequent herniation of a portion of the underlying dorsal fat pad through the tear. This clinical entity is common, and ...

A 53-year-old woman presented with left mandibular area pain, trismus, and facial numbness that had persisted for 4 years. Physical examination revealed a 3×5 cm, hard, non-tender, and round mass on the left mandibular area. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed an expansile tumor involving the left mandibular ramus and temporomandibular joint area with bone destruction, e...

Abstract Aim show our technique for abdominal wall graft retrieval minimizing warm ischemia time. Material and methods a video report of an (full-thickness) from female brain death donor. Results better perfusion with lower picnosis in the studied cells. Lower tissue damage both full-thickness isolated fascia grafts. Surgical technique: An “house-flap” incision is done as opposed to conventiona...
