anatomical vascular variations are rare causes of carpal tunnel syndrome. an aberrant medial artery is the most common vascular variation, while an aberrant radial artery causing carpal tunnel syndrome is even more rare, with an incidence ranging less than 3%. this article reports a patient with compression of the median nerve at the carpal tunnel by an aberrant superficial branch of the radial...

So far it has been difficult to repair and reconstruct the composite tissue defects in knee. Saphenous artery flap has been widely used to repair complex wounds, but the design and clinical application of composite tissue flap at perforating branches of saphenous artery were not reported. In this research, we design a new composite tissue flap by carrying fascial flap in the medial gastrocnemiu...

BACKGROUND The distally based sural artery flap is a reliable, local reconstructive option for small soft tissue defects of the distal third of the leg. The purpose of this study is to describe an adipofascial flap based on a single sural nerve branch without sacrificing the entire sural nerve, thereby preserving sensibility of the lateral foot. METHODS The posterior aspect of the lower limb ...

Sensory impairment in the cutaneous distribution of the saphenous nerve was measured in 30 patients after bilateral stripping of the long saphenous vein. The vein was stripped upwards in one leg and downwards in the other. Three months after operation a significantly greater incidence of sensory loss was found in those legs in which the vein was stripped upwards (13 out of 26) compared with tho...
