RESUMO
Sacrum is centrally located unpaired bone of pelvis which is composed of 5 sacral vertebrae. Superiorly itarticulates with 5th lumbar vertebra to form lumbosacral joint and laterally it articulates with hip bone to formsacroiliac joint. When 5th lumbar vertebra fuses with 1st sacral vertebra then it is called as sacralization andwhen 1st sacral vertebra gets separated from sacrum then it is called as lumbarization. 79sacra from thedepartment of Anatomy of MGM medical college and D. Y. Patil medical college, Navi Mumbai were studied to seesacralization. Out of 79 sacra in 14sacra(17.7 %) sacralization was observed.Out of 14 sacra, 4 sacra showedbilateral and complete sacralization, 5 sacra showed unilateral and partial sacralization and 5 sacrashowedincomplete fusion between L5 and S1 vertebra. Change in normal structure of lumbar vertebra andsacrum may lead to alteration in kinematics of lumbosacral region which may lead to compression of nerve andlow back pain. Knowledge regarding incidence of sacralization will be useful for radiologist and orthopaedicsurgeon while dealing with low back pain
RESUMO
The cutaneous ligaments of phalanges of palm and foot are fine and sender fibrous strips running from tendon sheath to flexor and extensor aspect of skin over phalanges. They are playing important role in stabilizing skin during movements and supporting digital neurovascular bundle. Such ligaments have carried lot of surgical value in microsurgery of hand. The morphology of such ligaments is studied in 80 digits of 8 cadavers of 20-80 years (6 males and 2 females). They are studied in detail in terms of attachments, thickness & length. The morphological data will be helpful in surgical implication of Duputren's Contracture, replantation, revascularization of the digit.
Los ligamentos cutáneos de las falanges de los dedos de la mano y del pie son delgadas cintas fibrosas que recorren bajo la piel y sobre las falanges la vaina de los tendones de los músculos flexor y extensor de los dedos. Tienen un rol importante en la estabilización de la piel durante los movimientos y mantienen el paquete neurovascular digital. Estos ligamentos tienen un gran valor quirúrgico en procedimientos como la microcirugía de mano. Se estudió la morfología de estos ligamentos en 80 dedos de 8 cadáveres de individuos entre 20 y 80 años de edad (6 hombres y 2 mujeres). Fue estudiada en detalle la anatomía en términos de uniones, espesor y longitud de estos ligamentos. Los datos morfológicos serán de utilidad en procedimientos quirúrgicos como el Síndrome de Duputren, reimplantación y revascularización de los dedos.
