The sciatic nerve is the longest and thickest nerve in the human body, arising from the lumbosacral plexus in the lower back and extending down through the buttocks and the back of the thigh, eventually branching out into the tibial and common fibular nerves. Cadaveric studies are an essential part of medical research, especially in anatomy and surgical disciplines. These studies provide detailed insights into the human body's structures and variations that might not be adequately represented in textbooks or imaging studies. By examining cadavers, researchers can observe the sciatic nerve's different courses, branching patterns, and relationships to surrounding anatomical structures. The current work aims to study the anatomical variations in branching pattern and division of sciatic nerve, to know the variations of sciatic nerve by observing and dissecting the formalin fixed lower limbs and to document the different variations of the division of the sciatic nerve for any surgical and diagnostic inventions.","PeriodicalId":130869,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of General Medicine & Surgery","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129604713","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Dharmshktu, Sudhir Kumar, Navendu Ranjan, Vishal Sekhawat, Sarita Rawat","doi":"10.31531/2581-8287.1000136","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.31531/2581-8287.1000136","url":null,"abstract":"Background: Road traffic accident claims the lives of almost 1.35 million individuals every year. Because of its subcutaneous arrangement, long bones, particularly the tibia, are usually fractured in these accidents. Since the late 1980s, external fixation with moderate interior fixation has increased. Extra-articular distal tibia fractures generally result from complex, high-energy trauma, which frequently includes accompanying fibular fractures and soft tissue injuries. Method: This is a Hospital-based Prospective Interventional type of study, which include 54 patients, all patients were included in the study of the Orthopaedic department of S.M.S. (Sawai Man Singh) Medical College and attached hospitals in Jaipur Rajasthan, India. The most common trauma mode was road traffic accidents between October-2018 to march-2021. Results: External fixation was used on all fifty-four patients, with or without limited internal fixation. Thirty-eight (70%) of the fifty-four fractures were open, while sixteen (third) were closed. After the operation, the fractures healed in an average of 15.5 weeks. Although none of the patients received bone grafting during the initial treatment of the fracture, twelve patients had bone grafting six weeks after the initial treatment. Mazur’s scoring, modified by Teeny and Wiss, was used to score ankle functions. Angulation of more than 5 degrees is a sign of malunion. Conclusion: External fixation with or without limited internal fixation is an additional option for treating extra-articular distal tibial fractures. Open reduction and plate osteosynthesis have similar union rates.","PeriodicalId":130869,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of General Medicine & Surgery","volume":"97 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115708890","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
