Nerve Tumors of the Upper Extremity

Upper Extremity Nerve Blocks

Upper Extremity Peripheral Nerve Anatomy

7 The nerve anatomy of the upper extremity is studied constantly through surgical findings, electrodiagnostic studies, and cadaveric dissections. Although it is recognized that the anatomy is not changing rapidly, knowledge of the anatomic relationships and their significance is increasing. The purpose of the current study is to provide a comprehensive analysis of the nerve anatomy of the upper...

Statistical and histological analysis of tumors of the upper extremity

BACKGROUND Tumors of the upper extremity are common and usually benign. The most commonly diagnosed are ganglion cysts: specific, non-neoplastic swellings localized mostly around the wrist. OBJECTIVE The objective of this retrospective study was to determine the proportion of various types of nonganglionic hand tumors operated on at the authors' institution in 2014. METHODS A total of 246 p...

Nerve injuries of the upper extremity and hand

A nerve injury has a profound impact on the patient's daily life due to the impaired sensory and motor function, impaired dexterity, sensitivity to cold as well as eventual pain problems.To perform an appropriate treatment of nerve injuries, a correct diagnosis must be made, where the injury is properly classified, leading to an optimal surgical approach and technique, where timing of surgery i...

Uncommon nerve compression syndromes of the upper extremity.

Nerve compression syndromes are a common cause of pain, sensory disturbance, and motor weakness in both the upper and the lower extremities. Although carpal tunnel syndrome is frequently diagnosed and treated surgically with success, other compression syndromes are less common and are often best treated nonsurgically. Understanding the anatomy of the major peripheral nerves with respect to inte...
