Radial tunnel syndrome is a disease which we should consider it in elbow and forearm pains. It is diagnosed with lateral elbow and dorsal forearm pain may radiate to the wrist and dorsum of the fingers. The disease is more prevalent in women with the age of 30 to 50 years old. It occurs by intermittent compression on the radial nerve from the radial head to the inferior border of the supinator ...

We report a case of a 29-year-old man who presented with a distal humeral shaft fracture sustained by blunt trauma. Physical examination and nerve conduction study were consistent with injury to the median and radial nerves proximal to the elbow. The patient underwent open reduction and internal fixation of the humeral shaft fracture with neurolysis of the median and radial nerves. Repeat elect...

variations in arterial anatomy are less frequent, contrary to the venous system, and most of these variations affect visceral arteries. variations in the brachial artery are the most frequently reported and so far a minimum of six different patterns have been described. the most common of these patterns is the superficial brachial artery, which lies superficially to the median nerve. much less ...

Editor—A review in the BJA in 2010 suggested that advantages of using ultrasound guidance in regional anaesthesia included direct visualization of structures and local spread, detection of anatomical variants, reduction in local anaesthetic volume, painless blocks, and improved block performance and patient satisfaction. We feel that the following case demonstrates an additional benefit of ultr...

Botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) is a recognized treatment for the temporary relief of refractory palmar hyperhidrosis. Unfortunately, intradermal injection of BTX-A can be painful. Several modalities to reduce the pain of injection have consequently been devised. Peripheral nerve blockade with lidocaine before BTX-A treatment of palmar hyperhidrosis is a safe and effective method of pain relief....

Background: Several studies have identified the radial nerve in arm using different anatomic landmarks, however, acontroversy remains. Deltoid tuberosity (DT) and brachioradialis (BR) are reproducible landmarks that can be used toidentify the radial nerve (RN) during fracture surgery.Methods: Dissection of RN was carried out in 17 fresh frozen adult cadavers. Using a calibrate...
