Eleven cases of injury of the superficial radial nerve on the wrist joint, caused by intravenous injection of a needle. Paralysis occurred immediately after injection of a needle into the cephalic vein of the wrist joint, which was immediately recognized by the patients themselves. Six patients who had only sensory disturbance without causalgia were subjected to follow-up observation; 5 patient...

Variations of arterial patterns in the upper limb have represented the most common subject of vascular anatomy. Different types of artery branching pattern of the upper limb are very important for orthopedists in angiographic and microvascular surgical practice. The brachial artery (BA) is the most important vessel in the normal vascular anatomy of the upper limb. The classical pattern of the p...

We diagnosed entrapment of the superficial peroneal nerve in 17 patients (19 legs) with a mean age of 41 years. In all cases, plain radiographs of the leg, nerve-conduction studies of the superficial peroneal nerve and measurement of the intramuscular pressure at rest after exercise were normal. Diagnostic tests for nerve compression during rest after exercise produced pain and clinical signs i...

This clinical study was carried out to compare the rate of nerve complications after anterior and posterior approaches in forearm both bone fractures in adults. For this purpose, 310 patients with forearm both bone fractures operated during 1997-2002 in Kerman Shahid Bahonar Hospital were studied. From these patients, 121 cases werefemale and 189 cases were male and they were aged from 12 to 67...

The aims of the present study are to document side-to-side differences and temporal variability, between two trials (T1 and T2 at a time interval of 3 months) of nerve conduction measurements collected from 30 healthy subjects (mean age 22 ± 2 years). Methods. – The protocol at T1 consisted of motor nerve conduction studies of median, ulnar, peroneal and tibial nerves bilaterally, with measurem...

Introduction The clinical utility of nerve conduction study (NCS) for the distal medial branch of the superficial radial nerve (SRN) has not yet been clarified. Therefore, we investigated the clinical utility of NCS in patients with suspected SRN injury and compared the results with those in healthy control subjects. Methods Bilateral NCS of the medial branch of the SRN was performed in two p...

Nerve compression syndromes caused by non-neural tumours or tumour-like lesions are rare. We retrospectively reviewed 541 consecutive patients operated on by the same surgeon to study nerve compression syndromes in the forearm and hand. There were 414 due to nerve compression and 127 caused by tumours. Twenty-two patients showed compression neuropathy associated with 17 tumours and six tumour-l...

A radial nerve injury associated with a humeral shaft fracture is an important injury pattern among trauma patients.This study is to find out the incidence of radial nerve palsy and to analyze results of treatment of fracture shaft of Humerus associated with radial nerve injury to improve outcome and avoid long-term morbidity.A total of eighty patients of fractures were analyzed with twenty imm...

BACKGROUND Radial nerve palsy associated with fractures of the shaft of the humerus is the most common nerve lesion complicating fractures of long bones. However, the management of radial nerve injuries associated with humeral fractures is debatable. There was no consensus between observation and early exploration. METHODS AND FINDINGS The PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controll...

The optimal treatment approach for the initial management of radial nerve palsy associated with humeral shaft fractures has yet to be conclusively determined. The authors performed a systematic review of the literature to identify studies that compared the outcomes after initial nonoperative and operative management for radial nerve palsy associated with acute humeral shaft fractures. A meta-an...
