Dorsal scapular artery as a recipient vessel in the vessel‐depleted neck during free tissue transfer in head and neck reconstruction

BackgroundThe vessel‐depleted neck poses a unique challenge to the microvascular surgeon. Using 3D modeling and cadaveric dissection, we describe the approach and advantages of a known but less frequently used recipient vessel, the dorsal scapular artery, during free tissue transfer.MethodsThree patients with vessel‐depleted necks required reconstruction with free tissue transfer. The dorsal scapular artery was used as a recipient vessel. Three‐dimensional anatomic models were created and cadaveric dissections were performed to characterize the anatomy.ResultsThe dorsal scapular artery was successfully used in 3 patients as the recipient pedicle for free tissue transfer. The vessel was identified deep in the posterior triangle after emerging through the brachial plexus. In all cases, the artery was in a previously undissected field, and had a large caliber and favorable geometry for microvascular anastomosis.ConclusionThe dorsal scapular artery is a viable recipient vessel during head and neck reconstruction in the vessel‐depleted neck.Peer Reviewedhttps://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/137262/1/hed24785_am.pdfhttps://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/137262/2/hed24785.pd

Field investigations of the performance of air bag deployments in frontal collisions

This paper documents field investigations of "air bag" crashes selected from a large group of air bag crashes in file at the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute (UMTRI). A full range of crashes are presented with injury levels of AIS 1-2 to AIS 5-6. Most occupants sustained minor injuries. Those not wearing the lap-shoulder belt (3-point belt) had more minor injuries than the restrained. The occurrence of higher level injuries (AIS [ges]2) was found more often in the nonbelted.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/30427/1/0000048.pd

Cervical spine biomechanics: A review of the literature

This article reviews the many clinical and laboratory investigative research reports on the frequency, causes, and biomechanics of human cervical spine impact injuries and tolerances. Neck injury mechanisms have been hypothesized from clinically observed cervical spine injuries without laboratory verification. However, many of the laboratory experiments used static loading techniques of cervical spine segments. Only recently have dynamic impact studies been conducted. Results indicate that crown-of-head impacts can routinely produce compression of the neck with extension or flexion motion. However, the two-dimensional (midsagittal) movement of the head bowing into the chest does not routinely produce flexion/compression type damage to the cervical spine. Flexion/compression damage to the cervical spine can be produced by prepositioning the subject so that upon impact, a three-dimensional motion of the head and neck occurs. Future laboratory research is needed to determine the forces and impact directions required to produce the various known fracture types and dislocations for a clear, accurate description of the cervical spine impact dynamics.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/50376/1/1100040212_ftp.pd
