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 ...

We report a case of a 29-year-old man who presented with a distal humeral shaft fracture sustained by blunt trauma. Physicalexamination and nerve conduction study were consistent with injury to the median and radial nerves proximal to theelbow. The patient underwent open reduction and internal fixation of the humeral shaft fracture with neurolysis of the medianand radial nerves. Repeat electrom...

The monofilament test (MFT) is a reliable method to assess sensory nerve function in leprosy and other neuropathies. Assessment of the radial cutaneous and sural nerves, in addition to nerves usually tested, can help improve diagnosis and monitoring of nerve function impairment (NFI). To enable the detection of impairments in leprosy patients, it is essential to know the monofilament threshold ...

We present a 36-year-old male patient who had an anatomic variation in the number of digital nerves in the index finger of the left hand. During flexor tendoplasty for a zone II flexor tendon injury in the index finger, duplication of the radial and ulnar digital nerves was detected at the level of the proximal phalanx, making a total of four digital nerves. Both radial and ulnar digital nerves...

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...

This study seeks to extend the observations of previous studies of projection of primary afferent fibres from the forelimb nerves and muscles to the external cuneate nucleus (ECN) of mammals using a neurotoxic lectin, Ricinus communis agglutinin (RCA) to achieve chemical ganglionectomy of the dorsal root ganglia. Following intraneural injection of RCA into the three main forelimb nerves, namely...

INTRODUCTION The median and radial nerves are two important neural structures found in the cubital fossa. The trajectory and landmarks used to identify their location are important when procedures are done in this area. METHODS AND MATERIALS Ten fresh-frozen cadavers were dissected (20 upper limbs) and measurements were taken from the medial epicondyle to the median and radial nerves as well ...

introduction: nerve repair is performed in different ways, but which way leads to better results is not known for ceratin. one way is epiperineurial procedure. in this method the fasicules of the nerve are sawn together by thin thread separately. this study aimed to investigate the results of epiperineurial method. materials and methods: in this study 21 subjects who were admitted in taleghani ...
