Abstract The present paper is for the interest for the disciples of surgery, orthopedics and sports medicine. The aim is to study the variations in insertion of extensor hallucis longus muscle encountered during dissection, to analyze the anatomical basis of clinical or applied entities related to them and to correlate them with the available literature. This study was undertaken in 60 lower limbs in 30 adult cadavers in which extensor hallucis longus muscle was dissected in each limb. The variations encountered were recorded and analyzed. Three cases (6 limbs) had a variation of double tendons at its insertion site. Frequent variations seen in the musculature of the leg as regards their mode of origin and insertion indicate that they have not yet reached their final stage of evolution. Foot ankle surgeons thus should be aware of various extensor hallucis longus tendons and their potential use in problematic cases. The clinical significance of this variation is that the accessory tendons can be used in cases of tendon rupture, the repair of main tendon, to increase and sustain the power of dorsiflexion and in hallux varus deformity. Knowledge of these variations will help the surgeons to avoid post operative complications and get better results in transposition, neurotisations and fasciotomies and creating fasciocutaneous flap operations.

Traditionally, anatomy textbooks describe each kidney to receive irrigation from a single renal artery. However, current literature reports great variability in renal blood supply, the number of renal arteries and the arrangement of hilar structures on the left side. Here a case is described where, on the right side, the renal artery had its origin from the abdominal aorta, as normally occurs, and followed a normal course and relations in the hilum. There were three renal arteries on the left side. The left main renal artery took origin from the anterior aspect of the abdominal aorta. The other two arteries took their origin from a common trunk coming out of the lateral aspect of abdominal aorta inferior to the main left renal artery. The renal vein at the hilum was found between the main renal artery and the ventral branch of the common trunk, anteriorly, and the dorsal branch of the common trunk, posteriorly. Such variation has great implications when surgery is indicated, as in renal transplants, urological and radiological procedures, renovascular hypertension, renal trauma and hydronephrosis. As the number of renal surgical and radiological interventions increase, a better understanding of the anatomy of renal arteries and their branches gain importance. To plan the adequate surgical procedure and to avoid any vascular complication, Multi Detector Computer Tomography (MDCT), angiography and arteriography should be performed prior to surgery (nephrectomy).

Renal artery variations are becoming more important due to the gradual increase in interventional radiological procedures, urological and vascular operations, and renal transplantation. Right renal artery was divided in to two segmental arteries (anterior and posterior) 4 cm proximal to the hilum of right kidney while left renal artery was normal in origin and course. To plan the adequate surgical procedure and to avoid any vascular complication, Multi Detector Computer Tomography (MDCT), angiography and arteriography should be performed prior to surgery (nephrectomy). As the number of renal surgical and radiological interventions increase, a better understanding of the anatomy of renal arteries and their branches gain importance.

Abstract The aim is to highlight a variation encountered in the insertion pattern of peroneus tertius muscle and correlating it with the available previous research studies and literature and also to analyze the anatomical basis of possible clinical entities related to this variation. This study was undertaken in sixty lower limbs in thirty adult cadavers in which peroneus tertius muscle was dissected in each limb. A variation encountered was recorded, analyzed and photographed. The insertion was extended on the dorsal aspect of almost whole of the shaft of 5th metatarsal. The variation in insertion of the peroneus tertius might play an important role in the causation of torsional stresses as observed in stress fractures. Thus it may have a clinical and phylogenetic viewpoint that has been highlighted in this case report. Knowledge of variation, may have useful clinical applications in cases of leg or foot trauma requiring tendoplasty or tendon transfer operations.

The muscles of the leg are partitioned into three compartments (anterior, lateral, and posterior) by two intermuscular septa that have separate innervations. Anterior compartment is innervated by the deep peroneal nerve and lateral compartment is innervated by the superficial peroneal nerve. Common peroneal nerve divides into superficial and deep peroneal nerve at the neck of fibula. An unusual finding in the dividing pattern of the common peroneal nerve in the male cadaver on the left side was observed. This finding is of academic interest and clinical significance to the orthopedician operating on the proximal fibula for nerve decompression, high tibial osteotomy, and nerve transfer operations.

Address for Correspondence: Dr. Seema, Professor, Department of Anatomy, Sri Guru Ram Das Institute of Medical Sciences and Research, Vallah, Amritsar, Punjab, India. E-Mail: [email protected] Background Atlas is the first cervical vertebra articulating above with the occipital condyles of the skull and below with the axis vertebra. Anatomy of this first cervical vertebra show great morphological variations. Atlas bony out growths known as Ponticles which can be lateral or posterior are commonly found. These ponticles can compress the third part of vertebral artery leading to vertebrobasilar insufficiency. Atlas vertebra is approached in a number of surgical procedures like transpedicular screw fixation, transarticular screw fixation interlaminar clamp and for interspinous wiring. Aim: To find out the incidence of retroarticular groove or canals in North Indian population in order to avoid postoperative complications arising due to these anatomical variations. Material and Methods: The present study was done on fifty dry adult human atlas vertebrae of unknown sex taken from Department of Anatomy, Sri Guru Ram Das Institute of Medical Sciences and Research, Amritsar. They were carefully studied for the presence of retroarticular groove or canal. Results: The retroarticular groove or canal were found in eight vertebrae (16%). Presence of these retroarticular canals predisposes to Barre –Lieou and Cervicogenic syndromes especially in neck movements. Conclusion: These bony bridges embracing the vertebral artery are responsible for vertigo and vertebrobasilar insufficiency. The present study can be helpful to radiologists, anthropologists and neurosurgeons to avoid many postoperative complications.

Abstract Keeping in view the frequency of variations in morphology and nerve supply of musculature of the lower limb, the present study has been taken up. Under the research study of Peroneus brevis muscle in adult human cadavers of Punjab, the dissection of thirty cadavers (sixty limbs) was performed. The origin of this muscle from fibula and intermuscular septum and its insertion on the lateral aspect of base of fifth metatarsal was dissected. Two limbs were found to have the common tendon dividing in two slips near the insertion. One slip was inserted on lateral side of base of fifth metatarsal and the second on medial side of the same metatarsal. The present paper is for the interest for the disciples of orthopedics, radiology and sports medicine. The clinical significance of this muscle is that the reconstruction of superior peroneal retinaculum can be done by using a portion of Peroneus brevis. The accessory tendons can be used in cases of tendon rupture, besides the repair of main tendon, to increase the power. The clinicians and radiologists must be aware of anatomical alterations in this muscle which is must for diagnostic purpose. The knowledge of the variations will also help the surgeons to avoid post- operative complications.
