Hi

Here are some articles; might be helpful

Hi Willem,

Why can't you just palpate to determine the ASIS, patella and TT and then mark the skin as per normal assessment on living patients?

@Chandrika thank you for your reply with the articles.  It did help.  @Darryl the problem  I faced with the cadaver is that the material is fixed and not as mobile as fresh material.  This made it difficult but if there is a Scientist there is a way! thank you all.   

Hi Williem,

Ask your friendly anatomy lab technicians if you can get access prior to embalming. We do this regularly in my lab. We could probably provide additional data from our cadavers if you are interested. The landmarks are also bone so should be ok to find on our cadavers. Let me know if you need help.

Thank you, dear colleagues, for presenting such interesting issues.

As an anatomist, working in a warm European Country, it occured to me that maybe your problems will improve, if you modify your embalming technique, in the sense of avoiding dehydration of tissues, such as which is provoqued by formaline.

In the Department of Anatomy of the Lisbon Nova Medical School, we have been testing and developping new embalming techniques that keep corpses with fresh appearance for a long time. Our embalming technique,with a modified mixture of Theil was improved with the innovating addition of an embalming perfusion pump developped in our University, which permits the perfusion of tissues with a computer assisted simulation of cardiac rythm. 

This would allow you to spend more time for your studies in cadavers with a «near-live» embalmed state, as it permits us to use them in «hands-on» post graduation courses and surgical training courses, as we currently offer in our department.

I reffer an article on these innovating techniques, by the Head of my Department, J. Goyri-O'Neill:, that you can find on Research gate:
