Cutaneous vascularization of the proximal two-thirds of the dorsal aspect of the hand: descriptive anatomical study of a perforating arterial arch
Conclusion
Given the constancy of this arch in the study, perforating flaps not yet described could be considered, having as pivot points the ulnar or radial origin of this arch. (Source: Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy)

Cadaveric dissection of connection between accessory hemiazygos vein and left brachiocephalic vein
ConclusionIt is important to note the variations of the azygos system to avoid confusion with a potential pathology such as mediastinal masses. Understanding of the rare variant reported here could be useful in the prevention of iatrogenic bleeding from the misplacement of venous catheters and help facilitate radiological diagnosis in the incidence of venous clot formation.

Variations of the obturator nerve and implications in obturator nerve entrapment treatment: an anatomical study
ConclusionIdiopathic obturator neuropathy remains a difficult diagnosis. Our cadaveric study did not allow us to formally identify one or more potential anatomical entrapment zones. However, it allowed the identification of zones at risk. A clinical study with staged analgesic blocks would be necessary to identify an anatomical area of compression and would allow targeted surgical neurolysis. (Source: Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy)

The increased anterior talofibular ligament –posterior talofibular ligament angle on MRI may help evaluate chronic ankle instability
ConclusionCompared with healthy people, the ATFL –PTFL angle of most CAI patients is larger, which can be used as a secondary index to diagnose CAI. However, the MRI characteristic changes of ATFL may not relate to the increased ATFL–PTFL angle. (Source: Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy)

A three-dimensional analysis of the tibialis anterior tendon: emphasizing tendon insertion patterns for effective repair and understanding hallux valgus development
ConclusionThe tibialis anterior tendon was more commonly attached to the plantar part than the medial part in both the medial cuneiform and the base of the first metatarsal bone. This anatomical information will help surgeons perform anatomical reconstruction of the tibialis anterior tendon, reduce further tendon damage in the first metatarsocuneiform joint area and also provide valuable knowledge to improve understanding of hallux valgus pathogenesis.

Structural and CBCT analysis of mandibular canal microvessels expressing neurotransmitters in human cadavers
ConclusionsFine microvessels of the vasa nervorum expressing neurotransmitters are present from the molar to premolar region, which is key information for mandibular dental treatments. The different microvessel structures also indicate differences in specific characteristics between dentulous and edentulous cadavers regarding oral surgical and implant treatments.

Extra heads of Adductor Hallucis muscle and an atypical attachment of several fibers: a case report
ConclusionThe varied organization of both heads and the location of AddH muscles may be attributed to various combinations of primordial muscles or anomalies during embryological development. Therefore, the variations and types of AddH should be taken into account during foot surgery. (Source: Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy)

Accessory extensor pollicis longus from the extensor digitorum: a rare case report and review of the literature
ConclusionThis study documents an extremely rare extensor tendon to the thumb originating from the extensor digitorum, with a unique attachment to the normal extensor pollicis tendon. There have been minimal accounts of this variation, and the present report adds to the limited literature. Furthermore, the report suggests a new subtype, 1f, be included in the existing classification system. Surgeons should be aware of this rare variant for proper evaluation, diagnosis and surgical treatment. Further anatomical studies are needed to study the prevalence of this variant.

Revisiting the anatomy of myrtiformis muscle
ConclusionWe revisited the muscle which was at some occasions termed as myrtiformis muscle, depressor septi nasi or depressor alae nasi muscles. Considering that there are differential forms of the muscle with the same muscular origin but bearing single or double bellies and/or different insertion sites, our classification may overcome possible terminological confusion by ensuring single muscle term with easily distinguishable morphological types. We invite anatomists to enlarge the data set and comment on our classification, and surgeons to conduct prospective examinations to add deeper insight regarding the functional im...
