Posteromedial portals in the knee are used for numerous procedures, including posterior cruciate ligament reconstructions, meniscal transplantation, repair of posterior meniscal tears, removal of loose bodies, and synovectomy. Iatrogenic injury to the sartorial branch of the saphenous nerve is a known complication of posteromedial portal arthroscopy; thus, a reproducible technique for creating ...

Concentrations of droperidol which caused a shift to the right of the dose-response curve to noradrenaline in the pulmonary artery and the saphenous vein of the dog did not affect myogenic activation by K+; they did not inhibit spontaneous activity of portal-mesenteric veins. Droperidol inhibited the contractile response to nerve stimulation, but did not affect the evoked release of 3H-noradren...

I The activity produced by intra-arterial bradykinin and prostaglandin El was investigated in multifibre strands dissected from the saphenous nerves of anaesthetized rats. 2 Bradykinin (0.5-10 gg) alone produced little activity in nerve strands but produced considerable activity following a 10 min infusion, but not a single injection, of prostaglandin E1 (5-100 ng). 3 Prostaglandin E1 alone pro...

Axoplasmic changes were studied in the saphenous nerve of the albino rat during the early stages of Wallerian degeneration. The axons were examined at 0, 24, and 48 hours after the surgical transection of the nerve. The material was fixed in 2 per cent OsO4 in phosphate buffer (pH 7.2-7.5) with sucrose (added to a final osmolar concentration of ~0.37 ~a). The earliest changes were seen in the e...

protected by removing a part of the internal saphenous vein which was sutured round the nerve. The patient had already recovered sensation and motion of the affected limb when he left the hospital. Fracture of the Skull.?An European was admitted with fracture of the vault, a triangular piece being depressed. He was drowsy on admission ; one corner of the depressed triangle involved the superior...
