Arthroscopy of the shoulder is a well-established and routine procedure. The role is expected to increase further with an ever-increasing list of indications reflecting the gratifying results. Intraoperative injuries of nerves related to positioning are known but, fortunately, rare with shoulder arthroscopy. Appropriate assessment of patient and careful positioning is paramount in prevention of...

Radial nerve innervation to the brachialis muscle has been studied previously by different authors in Caucasian, Chinese, and Thai population. Present study was aimed to describe the radial nerve and musculocutaneous nerve contribution to the brachialis muscle and to elucidate racial differences between Indian and other populations. Hundred-forty superior extremities of 70 embalmed cadavers inc...

The present case report describes a rare finding of dorsal branch of the ulnar nerve which originated from the junction of upper fourth and lower three fourth of the forearm, passed between the two heads of flexor carpi ulnaris and then descended along the medial border of the extensor surface forearm in the superficial fascia. On the dorsal aspect of the wrist, it divided into two branches, a ...

Introduction The cephalic vein begins at the radial end of the dorsal venous arch at the back of the hand, winds around the radial border of the forearm, and ascends in the arm on the lateral side of the biceps brachii muscle. The vein lies within the superficial fascia, and pierces the deep fascia to drain into axillary vein in the shoulder region [1, 2]. The origin of the basilic vein is the ...

ltrasonography not only permits a detailed assessment of peripheral nerves but also is useful for intrinsic nerve abnormality detection, as in peripheral nerve enlargement (eg, in trauma, peripheral nerve sheath tumors, and nerve compression). Ultrasonography can also be used to locate nerve compression due to an extrinsic factor (eg, compression of the posterior interosseous nerve by the arcad...

Natural stimulation of the skin surface by pressuring or electrical stimulation of the cutaneous nerve may induce 'hypnotic', inactive or sleep state in the animal, besides evoking the segmental reflex activities 2.10,16,21,27). In this inhibitory influence, not only the motor activity but also the sympathetic nervous activity, as is indicated by the blood pressure or sweating 13.27), is involv...

the appropriate time for performing transfers in radial nerve palsy is somewhat a controversial matter. brown suggested that it would be advisable to proceed early with the full component of tandon transfers when there is a questionable or poor prognosis for the nerve repair. for example, when there is a nerve gap of greater than 4 cm or when there is a large wound or extensive scarring or skin...

background lesions in peripheral nerves are highly prevalent in the upper extremity. the present study compares different tendon transfer surgeries in patients with radial nerve palsy. methods fifty patients with radial nerve palsy were randomly selected among patients who referred to tehran 15th khordad hospital during 2006-2011. they were divided into two groups of 17 and 33 subjects. single ...

Objective: “Cheiralgia paresthetica” is the term suggested by Wartenberg in 1932, to define isolated neuropathy of the superficial branch of the radial nerve (SRN). Radial nerve compression can occur throughout its course in the forearm, especially in the tunnel region beneath the tendon of the brachioradialis muscle. The authors report three cases with review of the literatures. Methods: The a...

INTRODUCTION Sonography in classical nerve entrapment syndromes is an established and validated method. In contrast, few publications highlight lesions of the radial nerve, particularly of the posterior interosseus nerve (PIN). METHOD Five patients with a radial nerve lesion were investigated by electromyography, nerve conduction velocity and ultrasound. Further normative values of 26 healthy...
