Direct posterior and posterolateral portals are the standard portals used in posterior elbow arthroscopy. A posteromedial portal in the elbow is not recommended because of its proximity to the ulnar nerve. However, iatrogenic injuries to the ulnar nerve have been reported after elbow arthroscopy using the standard posterior portals, especially in posteromedial elbow joint pathologies. We presen...

Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess the measurement nerve gliding, resulting from joint motion and changes upper extremity position. Methods: extremities ten fresh human cadavers were dissected delineate relationship between positioning gliding distance nerves. Nerve mobilization – stretching therapy (SMG) techniques are mentioned in literature for each radial, medial ulnar excur...

Complications following carpal tunnel release have been reported to occur in 12-20%’ of cases and are numerous and varied. Neurologic complications that have been reported usually involve the palmar cutaneous or motor branch of the median nerve.’ Ulnar nerve injury during carpal tunnel release has been reported rarely. The only cases reported include cases of injury to the main ulnar palmar cut...

MEDIAN nerve compression at the wrist is common and its treatment by decompression is usually successful. Ulnar nerve entrapment, on the other hand, is uncommon. The ulnar nerve as it enters the hand passes through and divides in the canal of Guyon, into its deep (motor) and superficial (sensory) branch. This ulnarcarpal tunnel is bounded proximally and medially by the pisiform, distally and la...

conclusions obtained results demonstrate significant differences between intraneural and perineural injection pressures in the median, ulnar, and radial nerves. intraneural injection pressures show low specificity but high sensitivity suggesting that pressure monitoring might be a valuable tool in improving the safety and efficacy of peripheral nerve blockade in regional anesthesia. peripheral ...

The aim of this retrospective study was to investigate the frequency of persistent ulnar affection in patients who underwent open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of distal humeral fractures without ulnar nerve transposition or mobilisation. Eighty-two patients (53 women), mean age 62 years, were, at a mean of 48 months, reviewed through medical records and a subjective evaluation form co...

We report a patient with primary ulnar entrapment neuropathy in the midarm. Stimulation of multiple sites along the ulnar nerve showed a motor conduction block at a distance of 7.5-10 cm proximal to the medial epicondyle, where the nerve was compressed by the medial intermuscular septum. Anatomically, the possibility of ulnar nerve entrapment in this segment has long been suggested, and stimula...

Guyon's canal syndrome is a compression neuropathy of the ulnar nerve entrapment at the wrist. Compression of the ulnar nerve at the wrist by a ganglion, lipomas, diseases of the ulnar artery, fractures of the hamate and trauma are common etiologcal factors. Unlike Guyon's canal syndrome, carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common nerve entrapment of the upper extremity. Although, open (OC...

Double compression of the ulnar nerve, including Guyon's canal syndrome associated with cubital tunnel syndrome caused by the anconeus epitrochlearis muscle, is a very rare condition. We present a case of double crush syndrome of the ulnar nerve at the wrist and elbow in a 55-year-old man, as well as a brief review of the literature. Although electrodiagnostic findings were consistent with an u...
