BACKGROUND We compared the efficacy of combined posterior lumbar plexus-sciatic nerve block with that of combined femoral-obturator-sciatic nerve block as anesthesia for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery, because both block combinations have been recommended for lower limb arthroscopic and reconstructive surgery. METHODS Forty-eight patients undergoing elective unilateral ante...

Purpose
 The F- wave is a valuable measurement that provides information about both the proximal and distal parts of nerve. Classical F-wave recording methods are performed from muscles limb so affected pathologies. Nerve conduction velocity nerve by diameter gets thinner as it gives branches travels distally. So expected faster in segment than part even they same aim this study to compare...

PURPOSE To investigate the outcomes of digital nerve repairs using processed nerve allograft for defects measuring 30 mm or less. METHODS Seventeen patients with 21 digital nerve lacerations in the hand underwent reconstruction with processed nerve allograft. Outcome data for 14 patients with 18 digital nerve lacerations were available for analysis. Postoperative outcome data were recorded at...
