Sihler's Staining of the Thoracic Cutaneous Nerve and its Significance

Int. j. morphol; 42 (4), 2024
SUMMARY: Our team has modified Sihler's intramuscular nerve staining method to allow for calculation of nerve density. Therefore, this study aimed to show the overall distribution pattern of the thoracic cutaneous nerves to provide a morphological basis for selecting and matching sensory reconstruction d...

Compressive Structures of the Median Nerve at the Elbow

Int. j. morphol; 42 (3), 2024
SUMMARY: The objective of this study was to analyze the potential for compression of the median nerve (MN) caused by the bicipital aponeurosis (BA), the humeral and ulnar heads of the pronator teres muscle (PTM) and the arcade of the flexor digitorum superficialis muscle (FDS) in recently deceased cadave...

Morphology and Morphometry of the Dorsal Interosseous Muscles of the Hand: Laterality and Sexual Dimorphism

Int. j. morphol; 42 (3), 2024
SUMMARY: The dorsal interosseous muscles (DIM) are intrinsic muscles of the hand located dorsally between metacarpal bones, which play a role in finger abduction. Anatomical variations of these muscles in terms of form and length have been well documented, but variations regarding sex and laterality are ...

Unusual Anastomosis between Branches of the Ulnar Nerve (Kaplan Type Anastomotic Variant) - Case Report

Rev. Bras. Ortop. (Online); 59 (supl.1), 2024
Abstract The Kaplan anastomosis is a rare communication originally described between the superficial and dorsal branches of the ulnar nerve, distal to the ulnar tunnel, and in strict relation with the pisiform bone. It reveals, by its particular location, a formation of high clinical-surgical expressiven...
