Introducción: El éxito de éste colgajo depende de la anatomía vascular de su pedículo y de la existencia de anastomosis con pedículos proximales. Los estudios vasculares anatómicos en cadáveres fundan las bases para la realización de colgajos musculares. El cirujano debe conocer cuales de los resultados de un estudio cadavérico son aplicables al paciente. Objetivos: Estudiar en cadáveres el número de pedículos distales, su topografía y la existencia de anastomosis con vasos proximales. Luego comparar estos datos con los hallados en pacientes. Material y Métodos: En 9 piernas cadavéricas se estudió la anatomía de los pedículos distales. En 5 pacientes se realizó colgajo de hemisóleo a pedículo distal y se verificó la correspondencia de los datos cadavéricos con los hallados en el vivo. Resultados: En el grupo cadavérico los pedículos distales para el músculo sóleo se originaron tanto de la arteria tibial posterior como de la peronea. El vaso mas distal se encontró en promedio a 6,32 cm de la línea intermaleolar y su origen mas frecuente fue la arteria tibial posterior. La presencia de anastomosis no fue demostrable en las disecciones cadavéricas pero si en el vivo.       Conclusiones: Los resultados cadavéricos fueron comparables con los hallazgos del modelo vivo, salvo en la identificación de anastomosis, sólo evidenciables en éstos últimos. Esta información es útil para el abordaje y localización del pedículo distal que nutre el colgajo, pero no para definir el territorio anatómico del vaso. Por lo tanto, debe conocerse que datos originados de estudios cadavéricos pueden aplicarse al vivo. Introduction: The success of this flap depends on the vascular anatomy of its pedicle and on the existence of anastomosis with proximal pedicles. The anatomic cadaveric vascular studies set the foundation for muscle flap designs. Surgeons should know which results of cadaveric studies are applicable to the patient. Our objective was to study, in cadavers, the number and situation of distal pedicles to the soleous muscle and the existence of anastomosis between them and proximal dominant vessels for this muscle, and to compare this data with those found in patients. Material and Methods: The anatomy of distal pedicles was studied in nine cadaveric legs. Distally based hemisoleus flap was performed in five patients. The correspondence between cadaveric and patients data was verified. Results: Cadaveric group distal pedicles for soleus muscle were originated from the posterior tibial artery and also from the fibular artery. The most distal vessel was found at an average of 6.32 cm from the intermaleolar line. Its most frequent origin was the posterior tibial artery. The presence of anastomosis was demonstrated in patients but not in cadaveric dissections. Conclusions: Cadaveric results were comparable with those found in patients, except for the identification of the anastomosis. This information is useful for the localization and surgical approach of the distal pedicle that nourish the flap, but not to define the anatomical territory of the vessel. Therefore, it should be known which cadaveric data can be applied to the patients.

Summary Objective: To investigate arterial vascularity at the level of the proximal tibia as a potential source of the severe intra-operative haemorrhage, which has been previously reported as a complication during tibial plateau levelling osteotomy (TPLO) and triple tibial osteotomy (TTO) surgeries in dogs. To devise a surgical approach for the management of this complication. Method: Eight pelvic limbs from five canine cadavers were dissected and the vascular structures at the level of the proximal tibia were identified and photographed. An arterial phase angiogram was performed on a sixth cadaver to further describe the vasculature in situ. Additional dissection was performed on four pelvic limbs to devise a medial surgical approach to the popliteal artery and the cranial tibial artery proximal to the stifle. Results: The cranial tibial artery was identified as the most likely source of profuse haemorrhaging if damaged during proximal tibial osteotomy. Its course and branching are described. A simple medial approach to the popliteal artery at the level of its bifurcation into the cranial and caudal tibial arteries was developed. Clinical relevance: Understanding of the vascular anatomy at the level of the proximal tibia may prevent iatrogenic damage and resulting haemorrhage during TPLO and TTO surgeries. Temporary occlusion of the cranial tibial artery can be achieved through a simple medial approach, proximal to the stifle, in the event of severe haemorrhage associated with TPLO or TTO.

Abstract AN UNDERSTANDING OF the regional anatomy and specific biomechanics of the craniovertebral junction is relevant to the specific diseases that affect the region as well as instrumentation of the occiput, atlas, and axis. This article reviews the bony, ligamentous, and vascular anatomy of the region, in relation to the posterior surgical approach to this anatomically unique segment of the cervical spine. Anatomic variations of the area are also discussed. Basic principles of instrumentation of the region are also reviewed. The kinematics of the region as they pertain to the anatomic discussion are reviewed and discussed.
