Core Procedures Femoral hernia repair Saphenofemoral exposure for endarterectomy, embolectomy, bypass, and endovascular repair of aneurysms Exposure/puncture of femoral artery/vein Open reduction internal fixation for fractured acetabulum/femur Above-knee amputation Gluteal approach for hip replacement Pelvis and gluteal region Surgical surface…
This chapter presents an overview of the general morphology of the pelvis and lower limb. The main junctional region of the body contains not only the articulation of the femur to the pelvis, i.e. the hip joint, but also the…
The tethered cord syndrome (TCS) results from relative fixation of, most commonly, the caudal spinal cord owing to one of multiple pathologic entities. This fixation prohibits normal physiologic motion, can cause focal ischemia, and, in adults, most often manifests with…
Clinical Pearls Chiari malformations are pathologic herniations of the hindbrain through the foramen magnum and into the cervical spinal canal. Chiari malformations are being recognized with increasing frequency because of the increased availability of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Chiari I…
