Purpose: To investigate the impact of shoulder subluxation (SS) on peripheral nerve conduction and function hemiplegic upper extremity (HUE) in poststroke patients.Methods: Thirty post-stroke patients were selected (SS group: 15 patients, non-SS respectively). Evaluation limbs: compound muscle action potential (CMAP) amplitude latency suprascapular, axillary, musculocutaneous, radial, median, u...

PURPOSE Ulnar impaction syndrome is commonly the result of a naturally occurring ulnar-positive condition, distal radius fracture malunion, or collapse of a fractured radial head. The Feldon wafer procedure and the Bowers distal hemiresection procedure are designed to decrease force transmitted through the distal ulna. The purpose of this study was to measure the effects of these procedures on ...

Objectives: A prospective case control study was conducted to calculate normal dimensions of ulnar nerve and study the size, echotexture and morphologic alterations in ulnar nerve in patients with leprosy. Methods: The study group included 48 patients diagnosed with leprosy on basis of clinical, bacteriologic and/or histopathologic evaluation. Sonographic measurements were taken at 3 levels aro...

There is evidence that nerve flaps are superior to nerve grafts for bridging long nerve defects. Moreover, arterialized neurovenous flaps (ANVFs) have multiple potential advantages over traditional nerve flaps in this context. This paper describes a case of reconstruction of a long defect of the ulnar artery and nerve with an arterialized neurovenous free flap and presents a literature review o...

OBJECTIVE To demonstrate the new sensory restoration technique in radial nerve injury using the first branch of dorsal ulnar cutaneous nerve as the donor sensory nerve. MATERIAL AND METHOD Forty formalin-preserved cadavers (18 males and 22 females) were used as the subjects of the present study. The localization of the origin of first branch of dorsal ulnar cutaneous nerve was performed. The ...

Introduction: Vascular compromise causes hand pain, and physical examination requires to differentiate vascular causes from isolated ulnar nerve compression. Diagnostic studies visualize vascular abnormalities such as CT scans, MRA scans, and AV fistulograms. Ulnar artery aneurysms are quite rare discoveries, related to repetitive trauma, vasculitis, anatomic abnormalities, or infections. It is...

Normally the brachial artery divides at the neck of the radius 2 to 3 cms below the crease of the elbow into two terminal branches namely ulnar and radial arteries .Common interrosseous artery arises from ulnar artery. In the present study there was difference in the terminations of brachial arteries in two limbs of the same body. In the left upper limb, the artery terminated into ulnar and rad...

Naturally formed arteriovenous fistula (AVF) causing local vascular aneurysm dilatation in the forearm ulnar artery region is rare and is exceedingly uncommon in any age group. Presented is a case of AVF in the left ulnar artery of a 39-year-old man in whom there was no history of trauma; the deformity had been noted since childhood. The AVF had become tortuous and enlarged in size as the patie...
