Motor branching patterns of the ulnar nerve in the forearms of fetal cadavers

Abstract

Our study is critically important for implementing successful surgical interventions and minimizing complications especially in ulnar nerve and forearm muscles surgery also in nerve replacement on this area.

Innervation of the Flexor Digitorum Profundus: A Systematic Review

“…Three papers (173 limbs) discussed the number of UN muscular branches to the FDP (Table 5). 5,8,16 The average number of UN branches to the FDP was 1.37 (0.94). Most frequently, 1 (95.4%) branch entered the FDP, followed by 2 (4.6%) branches.…”

“…Among the 26 full texts, 17 papers were excluded and 8 mined papers were added, leading to a total of 17 papers that were ultimately analyzed ( Figure 1, Table 1). 2,[4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] We followed "Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses" guidelines in this study. 20 No restrictions on language and publication form were imposed.…”

“…2,[4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] In all 17 papers, innervation of the FDP was observed by cadaver dissection. Twelve papers specified the sex of the cadavers (251 males, 120 females), 2,4,[6][7][8][9][10][14][15][16]18,19 and 2 papers specified the laterality (37 left limbs, 35 right limbs). 2,18 Innervation of the Index, Middle, Ring, and Little FDP Three papers (82 limbs) discussed the innervation of the FDP (Figure 2, Table 2).…”

A Bilateral Symmetrical Variant Formation of the Sural Nerve

“…These cells develop into peripheral nerves and among them the SN. Schwann cells, which also originate from neural crest cells, are responsible for myelinating nerves within the peripheral nervous system, thereby enhancing the conduction of electrical signals [ 5 ].…”

Multiple Mini Incision Technique for Sural Nerve Harvest: When to Add a Fibular Incision Based on a New Surgical Classification

“…17 Subsequent reports described a more complex pattern of formation from cadaveric and ultrasound studies. 13 15 16 17 18 21 22 23 24 25 These studies had given numerus anatomical and ultrasonic classification of the nerve. 13 17 18 25 In a recent meta-analysis on the formation sural nerves, Ramakrishnan et al proposed an anatomical system with six types after analyzing 3,974 limbs from 39 studies.…”
