Description
MARDONES, V. F. & RODRIGUEZ, T. A. Levator scapulae muscle: Blood supply and innervation. Int. J. Morphol., 24(3):363-368, 2006. SUMMARY: The use of muscular flaps as a reconstructive tool requires a thorough anatomical knowledge of its blood supply and innervation. Although surgical applications of the levator scapulae muscle have contributed to this matter, there are still questions regarding these morphologic features. In this study, 11 human corpses were used (8 males and 3 females), with an average age of 70 years. In 7 of these, an arterial repletion was performed prior to dissection. The latter was done in a step-wise manner in both sides of 9 cervical and scapular regions and in 2 cases, only one side. Several aspects of the arterial blood supply and innervation of the muscle were analyzed.
