Objective To investigate the anatomic foundation of using main branch of posterior femoral nerve to restore the sensation function of distal basedsural island flap. Methods Thirty cases of adult human cadaver legs fixed by 4%formaldehyde were used. Anatomical investigation of the posterior femoral nerves of lower legs was conducted under surgical microscope to observe their distribution, branches and their relationship with small saphenous vein. Nerve brancheswith diameter more than 0.1 mm were dissected and accounted during observation.The length and diameter of the nerves were measured. Results The main branch of posterior femoral nerve ran downwards from popliteal fossa within superficial fascia along with small saphenous vein. 70% of the main branch of the posterior femoral nerves lay medially to small saphenous vein, and 30% laterally. They wereclassified into 3 types according to their distribution in lower legs: typeⅠ (33.3%) innervated the upper 1/4 region of lower leg (region Ⅰ), type Ⅱ (43.3%) had branches in upper 1/2 region (region Ⅰ and Ⅱ), and type Ⅲ (23.3%) distributed over the upper 3/4 region (region Ⅰ, Ⅱ and Ⅲ). In type Ⅱ, the diameter of the main branches of posterior femoral nerves in the middle of popliteal tossa was 10±04 mm and innervated the posterior upper-middle region (which was the ordirary donor region of distal based sural island flaps) of lower legs with 2.0±0.8 branches, whose diameter was 0.3±0.2 mm and length was 3.5±2.7 mm. The distance between the end of these branches and small saphenous vein was 0.8±0.6 mm. In type Ⅲ, their diameter was 1.2±0.3 mm and innervated the posterior upper-middle region of lower legs with 3.7±1.7 branches, whose diameter was 0.4±0.1 mm and length was 3.7±2.6 mm. The distancebetween the end of these branches and small saphenous vein was 0.8±0.4 mm. Conclusion 66.6% of human main branch of posteriorfemoral nerves (type Ⅱ and type Ⅲ) can be used to restore the sensation of distal based sural island flap through anastomosis with sensor nerve stump of footduring operation.
Objective To observe the characteristics of morphosis parameter of the optic disc of physiologic large cup. Methods 100 eyes with physiologic large cup and 74 eyes with normal cup were examined by Heidelberg Retina Tomograph (HRT ). The differences of morphosis parameters between two groups were analyzed comparatively on disc area (DA), cup volume (CV), cup/disc area ratio (C/DR), rim area (RA), cup volume (CV), rim volume (RV), mean cup depth (MeCD), maximum cup depth (MxCD), cup shape measure (CSM), height variation contour (HVC), mean retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (mRNFLt), and retinal nerve fiber layer cross-section area (RNFLcsa). The characteristics of the inferior, superior, nasal, and temporal quadrants of the physiologic large cups were analyzed. Results DA, CA, C/DR, CV, MeCD, CSM (P=0.00, respectively)and MxCD (P=0.04)were significantly larger in eyes with physiologic large cup than in eyes with normal cup. RA, RV, HVC, mRNFLt, RNFLcsa (P=0.00, respectively) were significantly smaller in eyes with physiologic large cup than in eyes with normal cup. The temporal quadrant of RV of the physiologic large cup is the narrowest. RNFLcsa decreased as the fol lowing order: superior, inferior, nasal, and temporal(P<0.05). Conclusions Mo rphosis parameter of the optic discs of physiologic large cup has its own repres entation on characteristics. Compared to normal cups, physiologic large cups had larger discs but smaller mRNFLt. The nasal quadrant of DA was larger than the i nferior quadrant. (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis,2008,24:213-216)
Objective To study the clinical anatomical basis of the liver hanging maneuver through research of applied anatomy. Methods Retrohepatic portions of the inferior vena cava of 21 cadaver were observed intracavitarily, and the numbers of short hepatic vein (SHV) opening were counted based on different possible pathway of the liver hanging maneuver and different width of retrohepatic tunnel (10 mm, 6 mm). Results The number of SHV was 0 to 3 (median=1) using standard pathway of the liver hanging maneuver in 6 mm retrohepatic tunnel, and the number of SHV was 0 to 2 (median=0) using EM pathway that was on the right border of retrohepatic portion of the inferior vena cava and 1 cm away from the inferior border of liver. There was a significant difference between the EM pathway and standard pathway, P=0.003.Conclusion The results show that setting up a retrohepatic tunnel through the liver hanging maneuver is feasible and safe.
To evaluate the possibil ity of collateral outflow tract of arterial sclerosis obstruction (ASO)and the prospect of cl inical appl ication. Methods The red emulsion was infused into the arteries of the above knee amputation of 10 fresh specimens. Then the pathological changes of the anterior tibial artery, posterior tibial artery and the popl iteal artery, and the contribution of these bole artery branch were observed. From September 2005 to April 2007, 5 patients with ASO were treated, unilateral lower l imb was involved in all cases. There were 3 males and 2 females, aged 68-81 years. The arteriography and Color Doppler ultrasound of lower l imbs showed that the femoral artery and the popl itealartery and the branches had no development. The exploratory operation on the popl iteal artery and the branches was carried out. Results The walls of the anterior tibial artery, posterior tibial artery, and the popl iteal artery were stiff and the lumens were filled with atheromatous plaque. The sural arteries opening to the bole artery was frequent. The collateral circulation at the knee perimeter was raritas rather affluent at the muscle group. All of the operations were successful, the skin temperature increased gradually after operation, and the degrees of blood oxygen saturation increased to 90%-100% at 6 hours from 0 before operation . After a follow-up of 3 to 12 months, the symptom improved obviously, rest pain disappeared, lower l imb ulcer healed. The Color Doppler ultrasound showed that most of the blood flow at the anastomotic stoma ejected into bypass circuit, and the blood flow at the distally posterior tibial artery and anterior tibial artery was l ittle. Conclusion The collateral outflow tract construction is feasible, it is an effective path after cl inical verification to solve the advanced stage ASO
Objective To provide the anatomic basis for thelag screw placement in the anterior column of the acetabulum. Methods Twenty-two pelvis specimens with 44 acetabula of the native adult cadavers were studied. The anthropometric measurement was performed on 44 acetabula to determine the shape of the transverse section of the anterior column of the acetabulum, the optimal entry point for the lag screw on the outer table of the ilium, the direction of the screw, and the distance from the entry point to the obturator groove. Results The transverse section of the anterior column of the acetabulum was almost triangle-shaped. The path for the lag screw placement was 10.5±0.8 mm in diameter. The optimal entry point on the posterolateral ilium for the screw fixation was found toexist 9.2±2.4 mm superior to the line between the anterior superior iliac spine and the greater sciatic notch and 38.5±3.8 mm superior to the greater sciatic notch. The distance from the entry point to the obturator groove was 84.1±6.2 mm. The inclination of the lag screw was 54.2±5.5° at the caudal direction in the sagittal plane and 40.7±3.8° in the horizontal plane. The device for the safe screw placement in the anterior column was designed. Conclusion The above datacan facilitate an insertion of one 6.5 mm lag screw into the anterior acetabular column and minimize the risk of articular violation or cortical penetration, which has a narrow margin of safety. The safe length of the lag screw should be 70 mm.The optimal entry point on the posterolateral ilium for the screw fixationis determined to be 10 mm superior to the line between the anterior superior iliac spine and the greater sciatic notch and 40 mm superior to the greater sciatic notch. The inclination of the lag screw should be 55° at the caudal direction in the sagittal plane and 40° in the horizontal plane. It is safe to place thelag screw in the anterior column with the help of the targeting device.

Methods The morphology of vessels and bones in donor site and in recipient site was observed. The materials for the study were l isted as follows: ① Forty desiccative adult tibias (20 left and 20 right respectively) were used to measure the basilar width, middle thickness, anterior length, posterior length and introversion angle of internal malleolus; ② Forty desiccative adult fibulas (20 left and 20 right respectively) were used to measure the middle width and thickness, as well as the extraversion angle of articular surface of fibular head; ③ Thirty adult lower l imb specimens which perfused with red rubber were used to observe the blood supply relationships between the anterior tibial recurrent vessels and fibular head, and internal anterior malleolar vessels inside recipient site. Results The internal malleolus had a basilar width of (2.6 ± 0.2) cm, a middle thickness of (1.3 ± 0.2) cm, an anterior length of (1.4 ± 1.9) cm and a posterior length of (0.6 ± 0.1) cm. Its articular facet was half-moon. Its introversion angle was (11.89 ± 3.60)°. The fibular head had a middle thickness of (1.8 ± 0.6) cm, a middle width of (2.7 ± 0.4) cm. Its articular facet was toroid, superficial and cavate in shape, and exposed inwardsly and upwardsly, and had a extraversion angel of (39.2 ± 1.3)°. The anterior tibial recurrent artery directly began from anterior tibial artery, accounting for 93.3%. Its initiation point was (4.5 ± 0.7) cm inferior to apex of fibular head. Its main trunk ran through the deep surface of anterior tibial muscle, and ran forwards, outwards and upwards with sticking to the lateral surface of proximal tibia. Its main trunk had a length of (0.5 ±0.2) cm and a outer diameter of (2.0 ± 0.4) mm. Its accompanying veins, which had outer diameters of (2.1 ± 0.5) mm and (2.6 ± 0.4) mm, entry into anterior tibial vein. It constantly gave 1-2 fibular head branches which had a outer diameter of (1.7 ± 1.3) mm at (1.0 ± 0.4) cm from the initiation point. The internal anterior malleolar artery which began from anterior tibial artery or dorsal pedal artery had a outer diameter of (1.6 ± 0.4) mm. Its accompanying veins had outer diameters of (1.3 ± 0.5) mm and (1.1 ± 0.4) mm. Conclusion The blood supply compound flap based on fibular head had a possibil ity to rebuild internal malleolus. Its articular facet was characterized as the important anatomical basis to rebuild internal malleolus.
Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of the AO anatomical locking compression plate in treating type C distal humeral fracture. Methods Between July 2008 and April 2009, 13 cases of type C distal humeral fracture were treated with the AO anatomical locking compression plates. There were 5 males and 8 females with an average age of 52.1 years (range, 24-80 years). Fractures were caused by tumbl ing in 7 cases, by traffic accident in 4 cases, and by fall ing from height in2 cases. According to Association for Osteosynthesis/Orthopaedic Trauma Association (AO/OTA) classification, there were 3 cases of type C1, 6 cases of type C2, and 4 cases of type C3. Two cases compl icated by ulnar nerve injuries, 1 by radial nerve injury, 2 by fractures of ulnar olecranon, 3 by fractures of other parts of extremities, and 6 by osteoporosis. The time from injury to hospital ization ranged from 3 hours to 4 days (0.9 day on average). Results All the incisions achieved heal ing by first intention. Thirteen cases were followed up 12 to 21 months with an average of 15.9 months. According to the X-ray films, unions were achieved both at fracture site and the olecranon osteotomy site with a heal ing time of 8 to 13 weeks (10 weeks on average).

ObjectiveTo review the research progress of location methods and the best femoral insertion position of medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction of femoral tunnel, and provide reference for surgical treatment.MethodsThe literature about femoral insertion position of the MPFL reconstruction in recent years was extensively reviewed, and the anatomical and biomechanical characteristics of MPFL, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of femoral tunnel positioning methods were summarized.ResultsThe accurate establishment of the femoral anatomical tunnel is crucial to the success of MPFL reconstruction. At present, there are mainly two kinds of methods for femoral insertion: radiographic landmark positioning method and anatomical landmark positioning method. Radiographic landmark positioning method has such advantages as small incision and simple operation, but it can not be accurately positioned for patients with severe femoral trochlear dysplasia. It is suggested to combine with the anatomical landmark positioning method. These methods have their own advantages and disadvantages, and there is no unified positioning standard. In recent years, the use of three-dimensional design software can accurately assist in the MPFL reconstruction, which has become a new trend.ConclusionFemoral tunnel positioning of the MPFL reconstruction is very important. The current positioning methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. Personalized positioning is a new trend and has not been widely used in clinic, its effectiveness needs further research and clinical practice and verification.
