OBJECT Surgical treatment for cubital ulnar nerve compression includes medial epicondylectomy, simple decompression, or anterior transposition (subcutaneous, intramuscular, or submuscular). There is a dearth of prospective randomized studies on which to base guidelines for choosing one operative treatment over another. The authors review the literature on this subject and present their findings...

Tarsal tunnel syndrome (TTS) is an entrapment neuropathy of the posterior tibial nerve and its branches in the tarsal tunnel. We present our less invasive surgical treatment of TTS in 69 patients (116 feet) and their clinical outcomes. The mean follow-up period was 64.6 months. With the patient under local anesthesia we use a microscope to perform sharp dissection of the flexor retinaculum and ...

With the improvement of System-on-Chip integration, chip requires an increasingly large amount test data. To solve contradiction between storage capacity and bandwidth automatic equipment (ATE), a new method data compression/decompression is proposed based on annular scan chain. Corresponding fault bits different patterns are incompatible, moving in chain, makes all corresponding be compatible ...

This study evaluates the effect of internal neurolysis on a chronically compressed primate median nerve as compared with a simple decompression procedure. In 11 adult, cynomologous monkeys, the median nerve in the carpal tunnel was banded with a silicone tube. After 6 months of nerve compression (mild to moderate compression in our model) in eight monkeys, a microneurosurgical internal neurolys...

introduction: despite the vast number of surveys, no consensus has been reached on the optimum timing of spinal decompression surgery. this systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to compare the effects of early and late spinal decompression surgery on neurologic improvement and post-surgical complications in patients with traumatic spinal cord injuries. methods: two independent reviewers car...

Background: Osteonecrosis is common after taking Temgesic and Norgesic. This study intended to suggest the preferable surgical treatment in osteonecrosis patients who use these drugs. Methods: Twenty tree patients with hip osteonecrosis who were hospitalized in the Kerman hospitals after using Temgesic and Norgesic were followed for about 14 months from 2008 to 2010 (from a minimum of 2 months ...

case presentation an 85 years old patient presented because of intractable right leg pain with minimal activities. she was diagnosed with significant right foraminal stenosis and she failed conservative non-invasive therapies. conclusions percutaneous lumbar hydro decompression can be a promising method for the treatment of the patients with lumbar spinal stenosis and neurogenic claudication se...

This study was undertaken to understand and predict results of experimental cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) techniques involving compression and decompression of either the chest or the abdomen. Simple mathematical models of the adult human circulation were used. Assumptions of the models are limited to normal human anatomy and physiology, the definition of compliance (volume change/pressur...
