ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:

The present study aims to investigate the feasibility of labeling ligaments using ultrasound-guided injections. On formalin-fixed cadavers, the anterolateral ligament was selected and targeted for demonstration. The development of portable ultrasound machines and the ability to connect them to tablets via Bluetooth or WLAN makes it an accessible tool to implement into the anatomical dissection courses in order to associate medical imaging (MRI and ultrasound), anatomical structures and their subsequent dissection.

METHODS:

8 formalin fixed human cadavers were used for the ultrasound-guided injections of 1 mL of blue latex into the anterolateral ligament. 8 cadavers were not injected with latex for comparative purposes. The injections were performed by an experienced ultra-sonographer. After approximately 10 months, five dissections were carried out by students during the dissection course and three specimens were dissected by anatomists.

RESULTS:

The anterolateral ligament was successfully marked and demonstrated in 7 out of 8 cases. In 4 out of 5 cases, the dissection was primarily conducted by students, while in 3 out of 3 cases, it was performed by anatomists. The accuracy was 80 % and 100 %, respectively.

CONCLUSION:

The present study demonstrated that labeling obscure ligaments, such as the anterolateral ligament, using ultrasound guidance is feasible on formalin-fixed cadavers. It also showed that students can successfully perform the dissections as the structure is highlighted and that the time between injection and dissection (approximately 10 months) has little impact on the outcome. The use of ultrasound in dissection courses should be further encouraged.
