Background: Cervical sympathetic trunk (CST) is at risk of injury during surgical procedures cervical spine and may result in Horner’s syndrome. The purpose present study was to clearly describe the anatomy CST with respect surrounding structures analyse anatomical variations.Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 50 chains were studied by bilateral neck dissections 25 formalin fixed human cad...

STUDY DESIGN Cadaveric study. PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to assess the accuracy and feasibility of cervical pedicle screw (CPS) insertion into the subaxial cervical spine placed using a patient-specific drill guide template constructed from a stereolithographic model. OVERVIEW OF LITERATURE CPS fixation is an invaluable tool for posterior cervical fixation because of its biomecha...

The aim of this study was to compare the mechanical properties of autologous rectus fascia (ARF), two groups of commercially available cadaveric fascia lata commonly used in pubovaginal sling surgery [freeze-dried (FD) and solvent-dehydrated (SD)], and commercially available cadaveric dermal grafts (DG) evaluate differences in tissue strength and stiffness. We prospectively studied the maximum ...

Objective: This cadaveric pilot study was to develop a weight bearing computed tomography (WBCT) three-dimensional (3D) distance mapping algorithm that would allow for detection of syndesmotic instability. Methods: Pilot study, two specimens. Syndesmotic instability induced by release all ligaments through conventional lateral ankle approach. WBCT imaging under simulated acquired before and aft...
