anterior transposition of the ulnar nerve is widely implemented for treatment of cubital tunnel ‎syndrome. however, preservation of the extrinsic blood supply of the ‎ulnar nerve may result in better clinical outcomes. fourteen patients with cubital tunnel ‎syndrome, 11 ‎men and 3 women, were treated by anterior subcutaneous transposition of the ulnar nerve. the extrinsic blood supply of the ul...

Background: The median nerve is one of the most important branches of the brachial plexus. Due to the role of the median nerve in sensory and motor innervation of the forearm and hand in the upper limbs, its blood supply is very important. Awareness of variations in the blood supply pattern to this nerve reduces the incidence of necrosis and ischemia of the nerve during surgical and diagnostic ...

The concentrations of laminin, a high molecular weight non-collagenous glycoprotein of basement membranes, and of the N-terminal propeptide of type III procollagen were determined in the serum of the liver outflow vascular region (hepatic vein) and of a peripheral vein (cubital vein) in patients with chronic liver diseases (fibrosis, cirrhosis, unspecified histology; n = 173), in order to deter...

A minimally invasive endoscopic approach has been successfully applied to surgical treatment of cubital tunnel syndrome. This procedure allows for smaller incisions with faster recovery time. This article details relevant surgical anatomy, indications, contraindications, surgical technique, complications, and postoperative management.

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 ...
