This cadaveric study was designed to clarify the anatomic basis of using an anterolateral intermuscular approach to repair type A2 intertrochanteric fractures (ITF). The conventional lateral approach to surgery that is used for ITF has several disadvantages that can result in both intraoperative and postoperative complications, especially for type A2 ITF. Previous studies have suggested using minimally-invasive total hip arthroplasty (THA) with an anterolateral approach. The legs of 10 formalin-fixed Asian cadavers were dissected, simulating an anterolateral surgical approach. The distances from the superior gluteal nerve and the lateral femoral circumflex artery branches to the lateral protrusive point of the greater trochanter were measured. The anterolateral intermuscular approach provided excellent exposure of the GT, the lesser trochanter and the femoral neck. The gluteus medius branch of the ascending branch of the lateral femoral circumflex artery (GMB-LFCA) and the most inferior branch of the superior gluteal nerve (MIB-SGN) were found to cross the spatium intermusculare between the gluteus medius and the tensor fasciae latae. The distance from the GMB-LFCA, in the intermuscular plane, to the lateral protrusive point of the GT was (4.04 ± 1.00 cm, range 2.96–6.62 cm); and the distance from the MIB-SGN to the lateral protrusive point of the GT was (5.47 ± 1.61 cm, range 3.68–9.56 cm). The anterolateral intermuscular approach is relatively safe, provides excellent exposure, and causes less soft-tissue damage than the traditional approach, and it represents a promising new method to surgically treat type A2 ITF.

The insertion of implanted venous access systems for children undergoing prolonged courses of chemotherapy has become a common procedure in pediatric surgical oncology. While not permanently implanted, the devices are expected to remain functional until cure of the primary disease is assured. Despite careful patient selection and standardised insertion and access techniques, some devices fail. The most commonly encountered problems are colonisation of the device with bacteria and catheter occlusion. Both of these difficulties relate to the development of a biofilm within the port and catheter. The morphology and evolution of biofilms in indwelling vascular catheters is the subject of ongoing investigation. To date, however, such investigations have been confined to the examination of fragments of biofilm scraped or sonicated from sections of catheter. This report describes a novel method for the extraction of intact biofilms from indwelling catheters.15 children with Wilm’s tumour and who had received venous implants were studied. Catheters were removed because of infection (n=6) or electively at the end of chemotherapy.
