The Achilles tendon (AT) is reportedly the most vulnerable to rupture at the midportion, a section of relative hypovascularity. It has been postulated that the twisted structure of this tendon may constitute a critical factor contributing to increased propensity to vascular compromise, decreased regenerative capacity, and rupture in the midsection of the AT. In this review, we will give an overview of the most relevant research on AT vasculature and twist, and delve into the interplay between the two elements in the context of AT disorders...

The popliteal artery (PA) is a lower extremity arterial vessel, a continuation of the superficial femoral artery. PA may be injured in the majority of total knee arthroplasty (TKA), as well as arthroscopic surgeries which may lead to acute ischemic injury. Our objective was analyzing morphometry of PA in relation to other structures both in flexion and extension of the knee, highlighting discrepancies in the PA's location in varying positions. Literature was reviewed in regards to morphological qualities, prevalence rates, and variants of PA were pooled...

The authors report a rare variation of the anterior jugular and internal jugular veins in a 78-year-old male donor. An enlarged and curved left anterior jugular vein (AJV) was formed as the continuation of the left common facial vein (CFV). The left AJV's diameter was wider than the internal jugular vein (IJV) and measured around 5 mm greater than the IJV's diameter and a channel connected the two veins. The right AJV and CFV continued from the two divisions of the right facial vein. The right AJV's diameter was smaller than the right IJV's diameter...

forming a bony opening through which the vertebral artery (VA) enters the vertebral canal. Block vertebra is a synostosis of at least two vertebral bodies that did not separate during the embryological development. It is worth distinguishing it from the Klippel-Feil syndrome, as the latter oftentimes involves other abnormalities (namely skeletal) and is typically diagnosed in childhood. Both variants could potentially lead to an impairment of the blood flow through the VA. Case report: The following case report presents a finding of two anomalies of the cervical spine, found in a 38 y...

BACKGROUND: That the peroneus tertius muscle (PT) is a separate entity has been debated. PT has been reported to be part of the extensor digitorum longus muscle, part of the extensor digitorum brevis, or a separate muscle. While pigs have a PT as well as primates, there are no reports of its association with the extensor digitorum longus muscle or extensor digitorum brevis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this study, we used gross dissection and Sihler's staining to determine the origin, course, insertion, and innervation of the pig PT...

BACKGROUND: The arterial supply of the large colon is provided by the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) and inferior mesenteric artery (IMA). A particularly important area, especially in the field of colorectal surgery is the splenic flexure of the colon. There is a noticeable misunderstanding in the correct nomenclature of the major arterial anastomoses between SMA and IMA - Drummond's Marginal Artery (DMA), Arc of Riolan (AOR), and Moskovitz Artery (MA). The aim of this study is to organize the nomenclature and propose a new simplified one to facilitate communication between physicians of various specialties...

The axillary arch muscle, also called Langer's muscle, axillopectoralis, or pectodorsalis is a muscular variation of the latissimus dorsi muscle. During a standard anatomical dissection, the axillary arch muscle was found bilaterally. On both sides it originated from the latissimus dorsi as a muscle belly. Next it was passing into wide tendinous structure attached to the tendon of the pectoralis major muscle. Then, the narrow tendinous slip inserted into the coracoid process was found. The axillary arch muscle was innervated by the thoracodorsal nerve on both sides...
