Recent reports on the etiology, diagnosis and treatment of traumatic ulnar neuritis and tardy paralysis of the ulnar nerve have been published by Richards (1945) and by Gay and Love (1947). The present report is based on a detailed analysis of the results of transposition in forty-six cases with post-operative observation varying from one to five years. A further six cases of technically faulty...

BACKGROUND In recent years, distal nerve transfers have become a valid tool for nerve reconstruction. Though grafts remain the gold standard for proximal median nerve injuries, a new distal transfer of flexor carpi ulnaris branches of the ulnar nerve to selectively restore anterior interosseous nerve function, concomitant with median nerve graft repair, could enhance outcomes. The objective of ...

The sensitivity and specificity of nerve conduction studies and needle electromyography for the diagnosis of ulnar neuropathy at the elbow were evaluated by a critical review of the literature. With a search of the medical literature in English through January 1996, 101 articles were identified and reviewed on the basis of six criteria of scientific methodology. The findings of 6 articles that ...

PURPOSE Cadaveric palmar dissections reveal an ulnar sensory crossover (Berrettini anastomosis) to the third common palmar nerve so frequently that this crossover is considered a normal part of the anatomy. No literature has documented electrophysiologic evidence of the Berrettini anastomosis (BA). Presentation of third digit ulnar sensory crossover waveforms. METHODS Retrospective chart revi...

Rare additional slips of triceps brachii muscle was found bilaterally in a sixty two year old South Indian male cadaver during routine dissection of upper limb for undergraduate students at Melaka-Manipal Medical College, Manipal University, Manipal, India. On left side, the variant additional muscle slip took origin from the lower part of the medial intermuscular septum about 4 cm proximal to ...

Objectives: Repetitive microtrauma or overuse injuries may often affect upper extremities of the long term computer users. The aim of this study was to compare sensory nerve conduction velocities (SNCV) for median, radial and ulnar nerves in the wrist of computer users with the same parameters in controls who do not use computers regularly. Material and Methods: Twenty one male computer users (...

Purpose: To investigate the impact of shoulder subluxation (SS) on peripheral nerve conduction and function hemiplegic upper extremity (HUE) in poststroke patients.Methods: Thirty post-stroke patients were selected (SS group: 15 patients, non-SS respectively). Evaluation limbs: compound muscle action potential (CMAP) amplitude latency suprascapular, axillary, musculocutaneous, radial, median, u...

During the last forty years a few neurologists and surgeons have come to recognise various paralyses of the hand which develop spontaneously and seem to be local in origin. Various more or less plausible explanations have been offered but the only fairly constant etiological factor has been some sort of occupation which, if pursued for a sufficient length of time, somehow resulted in damage to ...
