Introduction: Cubital tunnel syndrome (CuTS) is a condition of ulnar nerve dysfunction due to prolonged compression at the elbow often caused by cubitus valgus deformity lateral epicondyle fracture. The main objective this study share our experience and review role surgical decompression anterior transposition (SDAT) in long-term relief symptoms. Materials Methods: Retrieval case records CuTS r...

We read with interest the paper by Abolhoda et al. about a harvest technique for pedicled transposition of latissimus dorsi muscle, and congratulate the authors [1]. We are used to transpose intrathoracically the whole latissimus dorsi muscle to obliterate an infected apical or mid-thoracic dead space and we use the same technique as described by the authors but we have modified the harvest tec...

The use of the anconeus muscle in the treatment of chronic lateral epicondylitis (CLE), recurrences, and infection is presented. In chronic lateral epicondylitis, a wide degenerative area of epicondyle tendon is not frequently found, but when it occurs, its treatment is quite difficult. Recurrences of CLE and superficial or articular infections of the radiohumeral joint after surgical treatment...

This study was performed for the treatment of peroneal paralysis, occurred as a result of iatrogenic injection and/or medicine, with tendon transposition in sheep. Thirty six sheep from a flock with peroneal paralysis occurred following intramuscular injection of a commercial medicine used as metabolic activator were hospitalized for 15 days and medical treatment was applied. After failure of t...

PURPOSE To evaluate the correction of hypertropia in primary position with unilateral inferior oblique (IO) anterior transposition (IOAT). METHODS Ten patients with idiopathic (nonparalytic, restrictive, or dissociated vertical deviation) hypertropia with marked IO overaction, who underwent unilateral IOAT, were prospectively evaluated to observe the correction of the hypertropia in primary p...

PURPOSE To assess the mechanical ability of the inferior oblique neurofibrovascular bundle (NFVB) to act as an ancillary origin for the inferior oblique muscle after anterior transposition. METHODS Stress-strain relations and Young's modulus of elasticity, a measure of tissue stiffness, were determined for the NFVB in vitro, in situ, and in vivo in dynamic and static conditions. For compariso...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the results from transposition of the triceps for elbow flexion in patients with chronic and complete injury to the upper trunk of the brachial plexus. METHODS This was a retrospective study, including only patients who had biceps grade 0 and triceps grade 5, who underwent anterior transfer of the triceps muscle, performed between 1998 and 2005. The affected side, sex, t...

Of 279 patients with transposition of the great arteries, 14(5%) had narrowing of the aorta, including local coarctation (6), isthmus hypoplasia (6), isthmus atresia (1), and kinking of the aorta (1). There were six deaths in 10 surgically treated patients; in addition four patients died before operation. Two of the four survivors had a subpulmonary malalignment ventricular septal defect with a...
