Muscles of the Anterior Neck01:26

Muscles of the Anterior Neck

5.4K
The anterior neck muscles are the group of muscles covering the front part of the neck. These muscles are classified into three subgroups. The first one is the superficial muscles, the most visible muscles in the front of the neck. It includes the platysma and sternocleidomastoid. The second group is the suprahyoid muscles, located above the hyoid bone. This group comprises the digastric, mylohyoid, geniohyoid, and stylohyoid. Lastly, the infrahyoid muscles are found below the hyoid bone and...

The Hyoid Bone01:12

The Hyoid Bone

6.0K
The hyoid bone is a small U-shaped bone located in the upper neck at the level of the inferior mandible, with its tips pointing posteriorly. It does not directly articulate with any other bone in the body. The hyoid acts as the attachment site for the tongue, the larynx, and the pharynx. It is held in position by a series of small muscles attached from above or below. These muscles help to move the hyoid up/down or forward/back in coordination with movements of the tongue, larynx, and pharynx...

Muscles that Move the Head01:19

Muscles that Move the Head

6.6K
The muscles that move the head are a dynamic and complex group of structures that work together to facilitate a wide range of head movements, including rotation, flexion, extension, and lateral bending.
The bilateral sternocleidomastoid, or SCM, and the suprahyoid and infrahyoid muscles are significant head flexors. The SCM muscles originate at the sternum and clavicle and attach to the mastoid process of the temporal bone. The SCM contracts bilaterally to bend the head forward, whereas...

Muscles of the Shoulder01:23

Muscles of the Shoulder

9.6K
The muscles surrounding the shoulder girdle, including the clavicle and scapula, primarily stabilize the scapula. This stable base allows other muscles to move the humerus effectively. Scapular movements often mirror those of the humerus and extend its range of motion. For instance, raising the arm above the head would not be feasible without simultaneous upward rotation of the scapula.
Anterior Thoracic Muscles
The anterior thoracic muscles include the serratus anterior, subclavius, and...

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation II: ACLS Airway Management01:22

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation II: ACLS Airway Management

911
Airway management is a key skill in emergency and critical care settings, as maintaining a clear airway is essential for adequate oxygenation and ventilation.Head Tilt-Chin Lift TechniqueThe head tilt-chin lift maneuver is an essential technique primarily used in patients without suspected cervical spine injuries. To perform this maneuver, one hand is placed on the patient’s forehead, and gentle pressure is applied backward to tilt the head. The fingertips of the other hand are positioned...

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation V: Advanced Airway Management Techniques01:30

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation V: Advanced Airway Management Techniques

742
Airway management is essential in emergency and surgical medicine, ensuring ventilation and oxygenation in patients who cannot maintain their own airway. Clinicians use a range of techniques and devices to secure the airway, depending on the patient’s condition and the clinical context. Key methods include endotracheal intubation, rapid sequence intubation (RSI), supraglottic airway devices, and advanced visualization aids. In cases where these approaches fail, surgical airway...

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Aesthetic Medicine
  • Facial Anatomy

Background:

  • Aging alters the deep cervical structures, impacting neck aesthetics.
  • Achieving a youthful neck contour requires addressing excess skin, fat, and platysma muscle.
  • The platysma muscle's position is crucial for natural skin redraping over underlying structures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a surgical technique that integrates the platysma into the deep cervical structures for improved neck aesthetics.
  • To enable natural skin redraping over a defined underlying framework for a youthful appearance.

Main Methods:

  • A procedure involving excess fat removal and platysma suspension to the hyoid fascia.
  • Approximation of platysma edges and wide skin undermining for natural redraping.
  • The technique focuses on making the platysma conform to deep cervical structures.

Main Results:

  • Over 7 years, 110 patients underwent this platysma suspension technique.
  • Low complication rates, including no permanent nerve injury or vascular compromise.
  • One case of recurrent platysmal bands due to suture failure; three cases each of hematoma and submental seromas.

Conclusions:

  • The described method provides reliable, long-lasting aesthetic neck rejuvenation.
  • It is a simple, reproducible, and teachable technique for surgeons.
  • Enables achievement of superior neck contour results previously difficult to obtain.
