introduction: median nerve (mn), one of terminal branches of brachial plexus, is commonly associated with several variations. this research aimed to review the literature related to the variations of mn from axillary region to cubital fossa. methods: we searched google scholar, science direct, springer, and pubmed electronic databases to compile reports related to the variation of mn published ...

objective(s):  the aim of this study was to evaluate the final outcome of nerve regeneration across the eggsell membrane (esm) tube conduit in comparison with autograft. materials and methods: thirty adult male rats (250-300 g) were randomized into (1) esm conduit, (2) autograft, and (3) sham surgery groups. the eggs submerged in 5% acetic acid. the decalcifying membranes were cut into four pie...

background: carpal tunnel syndrome (cts) is one of the most common musculoskeletal disorders among computer users. computer users exhibit various wrist angles while typing. dynamic changes of wrist angle may cause different degrees of median nerve compression. the objective of this study was thus to investigate the effects of the combination of wrist flexion-extension with wrist deviation on me...

several previous studies of adults have reported that the amplitudes of the sural and superficial radial nerve (sn and srn) action potentials are larger with antidromic than with orthodromic recordings. however, this difference has not been documented in children. this study evaluated the amplitudes of sn and srn sensory nerve action potentials (snaps), obtained with antidromic and orthodromic ...

background: the standard method for repair of an injured peripheal nerve is epineural repair with separate sutures. herein we describe a method in which the nerve is sutured with continous sutures. in fact this method has not been utilized for nerve repair previously and our purpose was to compare it to the standard method. if it proved to be successful it would replace the standard method in c...

during the past few years, researchers and practitioners have developed novel techniques, using ansa cervicalis to innervate muscles of the larynx paralyzed due to surgical procedures carried out in the chest and neck areas. during routine dissection of a middle-age male cadaver, an unusual course of the superior root of the ansa cervicalis was observed. in this case, the superior root of the a...
