Muscles of the Pelvic Floor and Perineum01:26

Muscles of the Pelvic Floor and Perineum

The muscles of the pelvic floor and perineum are crucial for supporting the pelvic organs, controlling continence, and aiding in sexual function, childbirth, and core stability. They are typically divided into the superficial perineal layer and the deep pelvic floor layer.
Perineal Layer
The perineum is a diamond-shaped area below the pelvic diaphragm, divided into an anterior urogenital triangle that contains the external genitals and a posterior anal triangle housing the anus. The urogenital...
Muscles of the Abdomen01:21

Muscles of the Abdomen

The abdominal wall encircles the abdominal cavity, providing flexible protection and shielding the internal organs from harm. It is bordered at the top by the xiphoid process and costal margins, at the back by the vertebral column, and at the bottom by the pelvic bones and inguinal ligament. The abdominal wall is divided into two regions — the anterolateral and posterior regions.
Anterolateral Region
The anterolateral region comprises five paired muscles classified into the lateral and anterior...
Abdominal Regions and Quadrants01:19

Abdominal Regions and Quadrants

To promote clear communication, for instance, about the location of a patient's abdominal pain or a suspicious mass, anatomists and clinicians typically use imaginary lines to categorize the abdominopelvic cavity into either four quadrants or nine regions to identify organs in the cavity.
The simpler quadrants approach, which is more commonly used in medicine, subdivides the cavity with one horizontal and one vertical line that intersects at the patient's umbilicus (navel). The four quadrants...
Uterus and Cervix01:18

Uterus and Cervix

The uterus, commonly called the womb, is a vital reproductive organ in females designed to provide a nurturing environment for the implantation and growth of an embryo. It is shaped like a hollow pear and positioned between the urinary bladder and the rectum. The uterus's structure allows it to support and protect a developing fetus throughout pregnancy.
The uterus is securely anchored within the pelvic cavity by paired broad ligaments on either side. It is further stabilized by three pairs of...
Assessment of the Abdomen III: Palpation01:23

Assessment of the Abdomen III: Palpation

Palpation is a crucial tactile examination method for assessing abdominal organs and detecting conditions like tenderness, distention, masses, or fluid. It involves both light and deep palpation techniques, each serving specific diagnostic purposes. Light palpation helps identify tenderness and other surface-level indicators, while deep palpation locates and assess abdominal masses and organ boundaries. A skilled professional can gather valuable insights through palpation, including evaluating...

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Traumatology
  • Anatomy

Context:

  • The posterior pelvic ring is vital for pelvic mechanical stability.
  • Traumatic injuries to the posterior pelvis vary, affecting ligaments, bones, or both.
  • Managing combined anterior and posterior pelvic ring injuries requires prioritizing treatment sides.

Purpose:

  • To provide an overview of common posterior surgical approaches for pelvic ring injuries.
  • To highlight the importance of considering soft tissue damage when selecting surgical approaches.
  • To emphasize soft tissue preservation in posterior pelvic injuries to aid wound healing.

Summary:

  • Posterior pelvic ring injuries involve damage to ligaments, bones, or both, impacting pelvic stability.
  • Surgical options include transiliacal plate osteosynthesis, local plate osteosynthesis, iliosacral screw osteosynthesis, and spinopelvic stabilization.
  • Soft tissue preservation is crucial, as extensive damage can limit surgical access and prolonged immobilization can impair healing.

Impact:

  • Informs surgical decision-making for complex pelvic ring fractures.
  • Aids in optimizing treatment strategies for posterior pelvic injuries.
  • Contributes to improved patient outcomes by guiding approach selection and emphasizing tissue preservation.
