AIM:The suprascapular nerve arises from the upper trunk of brachial plexus, passes through the suprascapular notch and then through the spinoglenoid notch and supplies the supraspinatus and the infraspinatus muscles. Due to the presence of anatomical variations in the shape of the suprascapular notch, there may be compression of the suprascapular nerve which leads to suprascapular nerve entrapment syndrome. The present study is a simple method to classify the suprascapular notch of dried human scapulae and its clinical significance. MATERIALS & METHOD: 42 dried human scapulae of both sides were examined for variations in the shape of suprascapular notch. RESULT: Mainly three different shapes were observed. They are U, V & J. Some scapulae are having suprascapular foramen instead of notch and some are having absent suprascapular notch.
ABSTRACT:The congenital anomalies of kidney are important as they may cause renal failure in middle age group. The horseshoe kidney is the most common congenital fusion anomaly in which both kidneys were fused at their lower poles by an isthmus in front of the inferior vena cava and the abdominal aorta. We present a case report of horseshoe kidney with long hilum opened anteriorly and extrarenal calyces in the left kidney along with an accessory renal artery arising from the aorta, supplied to lower pole of the left kidney and there was a separate renal vein opening into the inferior vena cava. The knowledge of horseshoe kidney with accessory renal vessels and extrarenal calyceal system is helpful for surgeons or urologists during operations.
BACKGROUNDNutrient artery is the major source of blood supply to the long bone, which enters through the nutrient foramen. Lack of adequate vascular supply can significantly delay or prevent fracture healing.The aim of this study is to study the number, location and direction of nutrient foramina of human upper limb long bones (Humerus, Radius and Ulna).
BACKGROUNDA single renal artery supplies each kidney on either side after arising from the abdominal aorta. Presence of accessory renal vessels is the most common variation in the blood supply of kidney. Aim-The present study was done to study the variations in the pattern of arrangement of hilar structures, blood supply of kidneys and their embryological & clinical significance.
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.
