Toe injuries frequently occur as traumatic or oncologic defects. Compared with finger reconstruction, toe reconstruction has been rarely reported in the literature, because of difficulty toes’ relatively thin soft tissue envelope, their requirement for challenging surgical techniques, and slight improvements gait. Therefore, can be plastic surgeons, especially cases exposure a tendon, bone, joi...

RATIONALE Although several studies have described the involvement pattern of myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) using muscle MRI, most of these studies have limitations as cross-sectional studies. To the best of our knowledge, there have been no reports of longitudinal studies describing muscle involvement patterns in patients with DM1 via serial MRI. PATIENT CONCERNS Progressive weakness of bot...

Introduction: Myositis ossificans traumatica (MOT) is known mostly in the orthopedic literature as non-neoplastic, heterotopic bone formation within muscle or fascia, presumably due to acute trauma or repeated injury. Myositis ossificans traumatica of the masseter muscle is uncommon disease producing limitation of opening of the jaws. Purpose: To present a case of MOT of the masseter muscle in ...

Necrotizing abdominal wall infections, enteric fistulae, or exposed prosthetic material after ventral hernia repair often results in a loss of abdominal wall integrity. Further surgical reconstruction with prosthetic material is usually contraindicated in the contaminated wound because of the high infection rate necessitating prosthetic removal and further abdominal wall debridement. Consequent...

Normally, the popliteal fossa contains popliteal vessels, tibial and common peroneal nerves. An occurrence of muscle in the popliteal fossa is very rare. During routine dissection classes for medical undergraduates, an anomalous muscle in the popliteal fossa was encountered. The muscle was originating from the thick fascia around the popliteal vessels. It was getting inserted to the medial head...

Background: Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans a rare soft tissue tumour that involves the dermis, subcutaneous fat, and in cases muscle fascia. Case Report: 34 yr old female patient presented with history of swelling front right ear since 2 years, associated pain weeks , HRUSG neck reported as Neoplastic pathology FNAC benign spindle cell tumor. Patient underwent surgical excision tumour. Frozen ...

A Morel-Lavallée lesion (MLL) is a pathologic fluid collection within an abnormally formed space, resulting from internal degloving injury between the muscle fascia and subcutaneous fat layer. Due to its resistance conservative treatments such as drainage or compression dressing, various therapeutic methods have been developed for MLL. However, no standardized guidelines currently exist. Recent...

We compared the age-related morphology of the cricothyroid (CT) joint with that of the cricoarytenoid (CA) joint using 18 specimens from elderly cadavers in terms of their elastic fiber contents as well as the cells composing the joint capsule and synovial tissues. In contrast to an almost flat-flat interface in the CT joint, the CA joint was similar to a saddle joint. The CA joint capsule was ...

In this study. muscle fasda removed from over the biceps femoris muscle was used as microvascular interpositional graft material in 67 rats. The faces of the cleaned fasda were rolled in order to form the luminal surface of the graft and were sutured in the from of a tube in different diameters and lengths. In group I. the grafts were 2.5mm in diameter and 2 to tmm in length in the common carot...

The latissimus dorsi is a broad muscle that originates from the inferior thoracic spinous processes, thoracolumbar fascia, iliac crest, and ribs. It inserts on aspect of intertubercular groove humerus through thin tendon. study was conducted 10 cadavers (7 male 3 female). These specimens were dissected examined to gross anatomical characteristics muscle. dimensions its surface area measured in ...
