BACKGROUND There exists some ambiguity regarding the exact anatomical limits of the orbicularis retaining ligament, particularly its medial boundary in both the superior and inferior orbits. Precise understanding of this anatomy is necessary during periorbital rejuvenation. METHODS Sixteen fresh hemifacial cadaver dissections were performed in the anatomy laboratory to evaluate the anatomy of...

Background To determine the relationship between superior disc-endplate complex injury and correction loss after surgery in a group of young adult patients with a stable thoracolumbar burst fracture. Methods The study group was comprised of young adult patients who had undergone short-segment posterior fixation and bone grafting under the diagnosis of a stable thoracolumbar burst fracture fro...

The functional roles of the three-dimensional fibrillar ultrastructure of the proximal interphalangeal joint volar plates of human fingers were studied by light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The results revealed that the volar plate consists of three layers of fibers. The first layer forms an intracavity wall with two parts, the proximal "membranous portion", and the distal "meni...

Median arcuate ligament syndrome (MALS), also known as celiac artery compression syndrome is a rare condition characterized by chronic mesenteric ischemia, secondary to the compression of the celiac artery by the median arcuate ligament. Occasionally, in addition to the celiac artery, the superior mesenteric artery may be partially compressed by the median arcuate ligament. We report a case wit...

The suprascapular artery (SSA) has been identified to be of clinical relevance in surgical intervention and fracture healing of the shoulder. Despite the classic description of its course and relation to the superior transverse scapular ligament, it is subject to much variation. The aims of this study were: (i) to describe the course of the SSA in relation to the superior transverse scapular li...

Knee ligament instability may lead to meniscal and chondral damage, resulting in early osteoarthritis. Due to its superior soft tissue contrast and avoidance of harmful ionizing radiation, MRI has become the most important imaging modality for early recognition of structural defects of the knee joint. This review aims to the understanding of MRI appearances of knee ligament structures associate...

Introduction Customary dissection in the Physical Therapy Anatomy Laboratory yielded a unilateral left-sided scapular ligament variation in a single cadaver. The embalmed specimen was a 58-year-old Caucasian male. The primary finding was a variant ligament which spanned across the supraspinous fossa in inferior to superior orientation. The suprascapular nerve and artery were seen passing under ...

A study was carried out on the discomalleolar ligament by dissection of adult human cadavers. The ligament corresponds to the most internal portion of the superior lamina of the temporomandibular joint capsule. It extends from the posterointernal portion of the temporomandibular joint disc, penetrates the petrotympanic fissure and reaches the malleus of the middle ear. Because of its morphology...
