UNLABELLED Radial nerve palsy following traumatic humeral diaphyseal fractures occurs uncommonly. Most recover with good outcome. However the cases with poor outcome or recovery will have tendon transfers to regain the lost functions. Various tendon transfer methods and choices are available in literatures citing acceptable to good results. We report a case of radial nerve transection secondary...

INTRODUCTION The injury pattern of open fracture dislocation of elbow with fracture both bones forearm with radial nerve injury is very rare. Very few reports are there in literature related to this kind of injury. However this combination is first of its kind. This rare injury needs special attention by early intervention and biological fixation to achieve good results. CASE REPORT A 22 year...

Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumours (MPNST) are a group of malignant tumours that arise from cells that are differentiating or have differentiated toward those of the peripheral nerve sheath.1 The heterogeneity of these cellular components and stages of differentiation have historically lead to difficulty in defining the diagnosis and behaviour of these lesions, with terms such as maligna...

Trigeminal neuralgia is characterized by facial pain that may be sudden, intense, and recurrent. Our aim was to investigate microstructural tissue changes of the trigeminal nerve in patients with trigeminal neuralgia resulting from neurovascular compression by diffusion tensor imaging, and to test the predictive value of diffusion tensor imaging for determining outcomes after radiofrequency rhi...

Pseudoperipheral palsy has been used to characterize isolated monoparesis secondary to stroke. Isolated hand nerve palsy is a rare presentation for acute cerebral stroke. Our patient presented with clinical features of typical peripheral radial nerve palsy and a normal computed tomography scan of the head, which, without a detailed history and neurological examination, could have been easily mi...

Electromyography and conduction studies in motor and sensory fibres were performed in 58 patients with different types of radial nerve injury. The site of nerve injury was predicted by clinical and electromyographic findings and correlated with changes in conduction, thereby permitting a more exact classification of the type of nerve injury. In patients with Saturday-night palsy, there was cons...

In nerve transfer, we transfer a physiologically active nerve to a distal, more important but irreparably paralyzed nerve. This surgical procedure is best done early within 6 months of the injury. Nerve transfer can be broadly classified into four categories: (1) Extraplexal; (2) Intraplexal and (3) Targeted nerve transfer. Prime extraplexal donors are the spinal accessory, phrenic and intercos...

PURPOSE Radial tunnel syndrome refers to pain on the lateral aspect of the forearm as a result of compression of the posterior interosseous nerve within a tunnel with specific anatomical boundaries. Diagnosis of the condition is difficult because of its close association with lateral epicondylitis, which warrants different methods of treatment. Based on a cadaveric study, a new clinical test, t...

Simultaneous shoulder and elbow dislocation is an uncommon condition, with only about ten cases reported in the literature. It also called bipolar humeral or floating humerus. Nerve involvement sometimes associated but radial nerve impairment yet to be described. We report a case of humerus occurring on young 22 years old. Non-surgical treatment was undertaken reduction followed by under genera...
