Anatomical Basis of Pronator Teres for Electromyography Needle Placement Using Ultrasonography
OBJECTIVE To find the optimal needle insertion site for needle electromyography of the pronator teres (PT) muscle among commonly used sites. METHODS Fifty forearms of 25 healthy subjects were evaluated. Four expected needle insertion points were designated as follows. Point 0 was positioned at the midpoint between the medial epicondyle and medial border of biceps tendon in the elbow crease. P...
متن کاملDiagnosis of Zygomaticus Muscle Paralysis Using Needle Electromyography With Ultrasonography
A 22-year-old woman visited our clinic with a history of radiofrequency volumetric reduction for bilateral masseter muscles at a local medical clinic. Six days after the radiofrequency procedure, she noticed a facial asymmetry during smiling. Physical examination revealed immobility of the mouth drawing upward and laterally on the left. Routine nerve conduction studies and needle electromyograp...
متن کاملAnatomical variations of pronator teres muscle: predispositional role for nerve entrapment☆
OBJECTIVE To assess the anatomical variations of the pronator teres muscle (PTM) and its implication in the compression of the median nerve, which passes through the humeral and ulnar heads of the PTM. METHODS For the present study, 100 upper limbs from human cadavers from the anatomy laboratory were dissected. Forty-six specimens were male and four, female, whose aged ranged from 28 to 77 ye...
متن کاملEarly Surgical Treatment of Pronator Teres Syndrome
We report a rare case of pronator teres syndrome in a young female patient. She reported that her right hand grip had weakened and development of tingling sensation in the first-third fingers two months previous. Thenar muscle atrophy was prominent, and hypoesthesia was also examined on median nerve territory. The pronation test and Tinel sign on the proximal forearm were positive. Severe pinch...
متن کاملAnatomical variations of the pronator teres muscle in a Central European population and its clinical significance
The pronator teres (PT) muscle is a forearm flexor with radial and ulnar heads. It is innervated by the median nerve (MN), which passes between these heads. Nerve entrapment, known as "PT syndrome", may occur in this passage. Anatomical variations in this region may be potential risk factors of this pathology. Therefore, the aim of the study was to determine the relationship between morphologic...
