ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to examine the change in median nerve location according to forearm movement. Thirty fresh specimens from 15 adult Korean cadavers (10 males and five females; age range, 53­91 years) were examined. We measured the motor entry point according to normal and pronated positions of the forearm. The x and y coordinates of the first motor entry point (MEP) in the normal position were 1.6±0.6 cm and 2.8±1.3 cm, respectively. The depth of the MEP was 1.5±0.3 cm. The x and y coordinates of the second MEP were 1.3±0.3 cm and 4.7±1.7 cm, respectively. The depth of the MEP was 1.4±0.2 cm. The x and y coordinates of first MEP with the forearm in the pronated position were 1.9±0.7 cm and 2.3±0.8 cm. respectively. The depth of the MEP was 1.7±0.4 cm. The x and y coordinates of the second MEP were 1.6±0.7 cm and 4.4±1.7 cm, respectively. The depth of the MEP was 1.6±0.3 cm. The differences in locations according to movement of the nerve branch were 0.3 cm, and depths were 0.2 cm. The pronated position results of this study will be clinically helpful.


El objetivo fue examinar el cambio de posición del nervio mediano de acuerdo con el movimiento del antebrazo. Se examinaron 30 muestras frescas de 15 cadáveres adultos coreanos (10 hombres y 5 mujeres) con edades entre 53­91 años. Se midió el punto de entrada motor de acuerdo con las posiciones normales y pronación del antebrazo. Las coordenadas X e Y del primer punto de entrada motor (PEM) en la posición normal fueron de 1,6±0,6 cm y 2,8±1,3 cm, respectivamente. La profundidad del PEM fue de 1,5±0,3 cm. Las coordenadas X e Y del segundo PEM fueron 1,3±0,3 cm y 4,7±1,7 cm, respectivamente. La profundidad del PEM fue 1,4±0,2 cm. Las coordenadas X e Y del primer PEM del antebrazo en posición de pronación fueron 1,9±0,7 cm y 2,3±0,8 cm, respectivamente. La profundidad del PEM fue 1,7±0,4 cm. Las coordenadas X e Y del segundo PEM fueron 1,6±0,7 cm y 4,4±1,7 cm, respectivamente. La profundidad del PEM fue 1,6±0,3 cm. Las diferencias en las ubicaciones de acuerdo con el movimiento del ramo nervioso fueron de 0,3 cm, y las profundidades fueron de 0,2 cm. Los resultados de la posición de pronación de este estudio serán útiles en trabajos clínicos.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to localize the motor entry point (MEP) of the thyroarytenoid muscle. METHODS: Eight cadaver larynges were dissected. A virtual plane was used to represent the MEP in a coordinate (X/Y/Z) system. The inferior border of the thyroid cartilage was linked to the center of the anterior arc of the cricoid cartilage (the Y-axis). The X-axis was set perpendicular to the Y-axis; the Z-axis passed through the posterior border of the thyroid lamina from the height of the insertion point. RESULTS: The mean X, Y, and Z coordinates were 6.2 mm, 9.1 mm, and 11.0 mm, respectively. The calculated angles of the lateral and superior deflections were 29.4° and 35.8°, respectively. The calculated insertion depth, that is, the distance from the insertion point to the MEP, was 15.6 mm. CONCLUSIONS: These results may help to improve the accuracy of needle insertion during diagnostic laryngeal electromyography or laryngeal electromyography-guided injections.
