Blood and Nerve Supply to the Bones

Blood and Nerve Supply to the Bones

Bones are dynamic organs that require a rich supply of oxygen and nutrients. Around 5% to 10% of the cardiac output supplies blood to the bones. A typical long bone has three main sources: the nutrient artery, the metaphyseal and epiphyseal arteries, and the periosteal arteries.
Nutrient Artery
The nutrient artery is the main blood vessel that enters the diaphysis via the nutrient foramen. While most long bones have only one nutrient foramen, large bones, such as the femur, may have two. This...

Area of Science:

Neurosurgery
Pain Management
Neuromodulation

Background:

Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) and dorsal root ganglion (DRG) procedures require precise lead placement for effective pain management.
Traditional awake techniques for lead placement present challenges and safety concerns.
Intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) offers a solution for precise and safe lead placement under general anesthesia.

Purpose of the Study:

To outline the protocols and benefits of IONM in SCS and DRG procedures.
To detail the use of electromyography (EMG) and somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEP) for real-time guidance.
To explore how IONM optimizes outcomes and patient management.

Main Methods:

Utilizing IONM with EMG and SSEP for real-time guidance during thoracic, cervical, and DRG stimulator placement.
Implementing IONM under general anesthesia to mitigate challenges of awake procedures.
Evaluating waveform-specific neuromodulation effects and stimulation paradigms.

Main Results:

IONM optimizes myotomal-to-dermatomal mapping for improved lead placement accuracy.
Enhanced paresthesia coverage and reduced revision rates were observed with IONM.
IONM facilitates advancements in personalized pain management through optimized stimulation.

Conclusions:

IONM is a transformative tool for SCS and DRG procedures, ensuring precise lead placement and patient safety.
The use of EMG and SSEP during IONM significantly improves procedural outcomes and reduces the need for revisions.
IONM advancements contribute to personalized pain management strategies and a deeper understanding of neuromodulation mechanisms.
