20
Q

important nerves in posterior approach to C1/2 - and where they’re from

A

greater occipital nerve - posterior ramus C2
third occipital nerve - posterior ramus C3

21
Q

anatomy of recurrent laryngeal nerves
which more at risk for anterior cervical spine

A

left - branches at level of arch of aorta - ascends between trachea and oesophagus
right - hooks around subclavian artery, runs next to trachea and later crosses to midline - more at risk

22
Q

plane for anterior approach cervical spine

A

SCM and strap muscles of the larynx

23

A

lateral - lateral to iliopsoas
middle - iliopsoas and femoral vascular bundle
medial - medial to femoral vascular bundle

24
Q

posterior approach to SIJ

A

detach and reflect glut maximus and glut medius - cannot go too inferior due to inferior gluteal artery and nerve
