Understanding the critical meningeal architecture in and around Meckel's cave allows experienced cranial neurosurgeons to develop a subtemporal interdural approach to dumbbell-shaped trigeminal schwannomas that effectively converts a multiple-compartment tumor into a single-compartment tumor. Dural incisions and stepwise mobilization complements our previous description of the bony dissection for this approach.

Fractures of the distal humerus are challenging injuries to treat. They are rare injuries and frequently involve the joint. The advent of modern operative fixation techniques has led to an increasing trend towards open anatomical reduction and internal fixation of these fractures. This review examines the basic anatomy of the distal humerus and the applied anatomy with regards to fracture classification and surgical approach. This is followed by a discussion of the methods and results of treatment.
