Peripheral nerve injuries (PNI) can lead to lifetime loss of function and disfigurement. Different methods such as conventional allograft procedures and using of biological tubes have problems for damaged peripheral nerves reconstruction. Designed scaffolds with natural and synthetic materials are now widely used in the reconstruction of damaged tissues. Utilization of absorbable and non-absorb...

The morbidity and social cost is found to be very high for upper extremity nerve injuries. Despite the fast advances in scientific studies and technology, a complete recovery following peripheral nerve injuries is still not possible, though, comprehensible progression in this field is obtained especially following microsurgery techniques. The aim of this study, is to present the anatomical loca...

Fractures of the shaft of the humerus are common injuries. Historically, the treatment of choice has been functional bracing. Recent technical advances such as angular stable plate and nail constructs lead to a shift in the treatment algorithm for this type of fracture. Surgical treatment is recommended in high grade open fractures, multilevel injury, polytrauma patients, nerve and serious vasc...

One of the main principles in hand surgery is the restitution of sensation in fingers which seems hard or impossible in extensive hand traumas especially in war injuries. In this article transfer of sensory branch of radial nerve to sensory branch of median (in 25 cases) and to sensory branch of ulnar nerve (for the first time in literature and in 12 cases) is reported. Operative technics and r...

OBJECTIVE To determine the etiology, signs and symptoms, angiography indications and angiography findings in patients with limb penetrating injuries suspected to have arterial injury. METHODS This was a cross-sectional study being performed in Imam Reza Hospital affiliated with Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Iran between September 2011 and March 2013. We included those patients with ...

Surgical excision has traditionally been the treatment of choice for benign non-thyroid cystic neck masses, including lymphatic malformation, ranula, branchial cleft cyst, thyroglossal duct cyst, and parathyroid cyst. However, there is a tendency toward recurrence after surgery, and surgery may be accompanied by complications, including nerve injuries, vascular injuries, and scar formation. Ult...

Nerve transfers for peripheral nerve injuries have become increasingly popular over the past two decades. While techniques ulnar repair been well-documented, more recent median and radial branch reinnervation are still being explored. This review describes outcomes of common emerging distal branches nerves.

OBJECTIVE Complex surgical exposures to upper extremity injuries required for conventional surgery correlate with a high morbidity and mortality. We present our results with conventional surgery following injuries of the subclavian and axillary vessels. METHODS Between November 2007 and March 2012, 29 cases with subclavian-axillary vascular injury were operated. Diagnostic and treatment metho...
