Acquaintance with the different anatomical variations of the arterial supply of the gallbladder is of great importance in hepatobiliary surgical procedures. A rare variation of the hepatobiliary arterial system was found during anatomical dissection of a female Iranian cadaver. Two cystic arteries were present, the first arising directly from the right hepatic artery and the second from the gas...

  The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is composed of two bundles, which work together to provide both antero-posterior and rotatory stability of the knee. Understanding the anatomy and function of the ACL plays a key role in management of patients with ACL injury. Anatomic ACL reconstruction aims to restore the function of the native ACL. Femoral and tibial tunnels should be placed in their an...

Introduction: Medical undergraduates usually understand and memorize anatomical course material with difficulty. Also, the current text books and atlases of anatomy and histology do not fulfill all the learning needs of the undergraduates. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the role of internet websites and computer programs (i.e. the role of electronic learning) in teaching....

background: variations of the brachial plexus are common and a better awareness of the variations is of crucial importance to achieve successful results in its surgical procedures. the aim of the present study was to evaluate the anatomical variations of the brachial plexus in adult cadavers.   methods: bilateral upper limbs of 32 fresh cadavers (21 males and 11 females) consecutively referred ...

injuries to the posterolateral corner (plc) comprise a significant portion of knee ligament injuries. a high index of suspicion is necessary when evaluating the injured knee to detect these sometimes occult injuries. moreover, a thorough physical examination and a comprehensive review of radiographic studies are necessary to identify these injuries. in this sense, stress radiographs can help to...
