Posteromedial portals in the knee are used for numerous procedures, including posterior cruciate ligament reconstructions, meniscal transplantation, repair of posterior meniscal tears, removal of loose bodies, and synovectomy. Iatrogenic injury to the sartorial branch of the saphenous nerve is a known complication of posteromedial portal arthroscopy; thus, a reproducible technique for creating posteromedial portals in the knee is critical. The medial epicondyle is an easily identifiable bony landmark and palpable even in patients with a higher body mass index. Use of the medial epicondyle as a landmark for posteromedial portal placement is a reliable technique. This article describes cadaveric neurovascular relationships to the posteromedial portal using the described technique.
» The subacromial bursa is a distinct anatomic structure with distinct histologic features; it plays a critical role in the symptoms of the painful shoulder and in the local healing capacity of the rotator cuff tendon.» Treatment of pain from bursitis of the subacromial bursa largely involves nonoperative interventions; however, operative treatment may be considered in certain instances.» Preservation of the subacromial bursa should occur whenever possible given its intrinsic trophic and pluripotent factors, which have been shown to play important roles in rotator cuff tendon pathology.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
