Anatomic considerations for posterior iliac crest bone procurement.
The aim of this study was to identify the relative anatomic locations of relevant vital structures at risk for injury during posterior iliac crest bone graft procurement. ⋯ This study illustrates that the most medial superior cluneal nerve is often closer to the PSIS than previously described and the same holds true for the greater sciatic notch and superior gluteal vessels. Knowledge of the anatomic locations of these important structures should allow the surgeon to avoid or decrease the complication rate of bone procurement from the posterior ilium.

Comparative StudyFunctional effects of local administration of thyroid hormone combined with chitosan conduit after sciatic nerve transection in rats.
To assess the local effect of triiodothyronine (T3) on peripheral nerve regeneration in a rat model of sciatic nerve transection. ⋯ The response to local treatment showed that thyroid hormone influenced and improved the functional recovery of peripheral nerve regeneration.
