Monitoring of the sciatic nerve during hamstring lengthening by evoked EMG.
Traction injury to the sciatic nerve can occur during hamstring lengthening. The aim of this study was to monitor the influence of hamstring lengthening on conduction in the sciatic nerve using evoked electromyography (EMG). Ten children with spastic cerebral palsy underwent bilateral distal hamstring lengthening. Before lengthening, the evoked potential was recorded with the patient prone. Dur...
متن کاملEntrapment of the proximal sciatic nerve by the hamstring tendons.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the results of operative treatment of entrapment of the sciatic nerve by tight fibrous structures associated with the hamstring tendons close to their proximal insertion. We retrospectively evaluated the results of 22 operations performed in 16 patients (6 bilateral operations), on average six years postoperatively. There was complete relief in 11 cases...
متن کاملdistribution of sciatic nerve in hamstring muscles
regarding the importance of sciatic nerve distribution in replacement of anal sphincter and sciatic nerve block we decided to study this matter for the first time in iran. in this way 100 cadavers (88% male and 12% female) were dissected and studied by loop microscope. the results shows that primarily, according to the first branch derived from sciatic; there would be 4 main groups. if this sam...
متن کاملSciatic Nerve Injury After Proximal Hamstring Avulsion and Repair
BACKGROUND Muscle bellies of the hamstring muscles are intimately associated with the sciatic nerve, putting the sciatic nerve at risk of injury associated with proximal hamstring avulsion. There are few data informing the magnitude of this risk, identifying risk factors for neurologic injury, or determining neurologic outcomes in patients with distal sciatic symptoms after surgery. PURPOSE T...
متن کاملVisual evoked potential monitoring of optic nerve function during surgery.
A study was made with intra-operative flash--visual evoked potentials (VEP) monitored using a fibre-optic/contact lens photo stimulator in 57 patients undergoing intra-orbital surgical procedures with potential risk to the optic nerve. The VEPs recorded under enflurane and nitrous oxide anaesthesia did not differ significantly in latency or amplitude from the pre-operative recordings. Transient...
