The infrapatellar branch of the saphenous nerve: an anatomic study

Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma
N A Ebraheim, A O Mekhail

Abstract

To describe the course of the infrapatellar branch of saphenous nerve (IPBSN) and define a risk zone in which the nerve would probably be located. The course of the IPBSN was studied in twenty-eight cadaver specimens (fifteen male and thirteen female) chosen haphazardly. SETTING AND MAIN OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS: The adductor tubercle and the junction between the inferior pole of the patella and the medial (point A) and lateral (point B) borders of the patellar tendon were taken as reference points. The level of the joint line as well as the point of crossing of the IPBSN at the joint line were measured in relation to point A. The IPBSN was located at 7.7 +/- 16.8 mm posterior to the adductor tubercle at the level of point A; at 0.8 +/- 20.5 mm anterior to the adductor tubercle at the level of joint line; and at 12.1 +/- 18.8 mm anterior to the adductor tubercle at 30 degrees from point A. The IPBSN crossed to the lateral border of the patellar tendon in 10 of the 28 specimens (36%). The vertical distance between point B and the nerve was 37.8 +/- 23.5 mm. Three zones are defined in relation to point A: a safe zone, a gray zone, and a risk zone. The limits of the safe zone could be represented by a curved line that crosses the foll...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
