A case of acute compartment syndrome of the forearm, resulting from contrast dye extravasation that presented as upper extremity ischemia, is described. Timely surgical intervention resulted in an excellent outcome. When extravasation of dye occurs, the patient should be evaluated for compartment syndrome despite the possible lack of typical symptoms.

background despite several studies investigating the pathophysiologic effects of tourniquet usage in extremity surgeries, there are not enough data about these effects in adhesion release surgeries of burn patients. in the light of numerous metabolic changes of burn tissues, we tried to determine whether there are any significant differences in metabolic responses of burn tissues to tourniquet ...

Compartment syndrome is commonly seen following lower extremity ischemia. However, upper extremities' compartment syndrome, especially after any vascular surgical procedures, is infrequent. Herein we report a case of an acute forearm compartment syndrome that was developed after delayed brachial artery embolectomy.

background: severe upper extremity injuries can affect the quality of life in patients and cause multi-factorial and long-term costs of disease. the aim of this study was to assess quality of life in patients with upper extremity injuries caused by work-related accidents. methods: in this study cross-sectional method was used in patients referred to the occupational medicine clinic of rasoul ak...

background: wolf motor function test (wmft) is used in the assessment of upper extremity motor function in stroke patients. this scale contains 15 items and assesses joint-segment movements and functional tasks. objectives: translation and assessment of internal consistency and reliability of the persian version of wmft in iranian stroke patients. materials and methods: after translation (based...

Electrical spinal neuromodulation in the form of spinal cord stimulation is currently used for treating chronic painful conditions such as complex regional pain syndrome, diabetic neuropathy, postherpetic neuralgia, peripheral ischemia, low back pain, and other conditions refractory to more conservative treatments. To date, there are very few published reports documenting the use of spinal cord...
