Distal median and radial nerve branch transfer techniques for upper extremity reanimation

Acute Combined Median and Radial Nerve Palsies after Distal Humeral Shaft Fracture

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...

Sensory reanimation of the hand by transfer of the superficial branch of the radial nerve to the median and ulnar nerve

BACKGROUND It remains a surgical challenge to treat high-grade nerve injuries of the upper extremity. Extra-anatomic reconstructions through the transfer of peripheral nerves have gained clinical importance over the past decades. This contribution outlines the anatomic and histomorphometric basis for the transfer of the superficial branch of the radial nerve (SBRN) to the median nerve (MN) and ...

Study of Median Nerve Variations and its Clinical Implications at the Distal Part of Upper Limb: A Review

Introduction: Median Nerve (MN) originated from medial and lateral cords of Brachial Plexus can be affected by anatomical variations which may lead to several diagnostic and therapeutic mistakes. This paper aim is to study about MN variations investigated by cadaveric studies. Materials and Methods: This study is based on research in electronic databases. Full text of all relevant papers has b...

REGIONAL ANAESTHESIA Concomitant infraclavicular plus distal median, radial, and ulnar nerve blockade accelerates upper extremity anaesthesia and improves block consistency compared with infraclavicular block alone

Editor’s key points † The hypothesis tested was that the addition of distal nerve blocks to an infraclavicular block would speed up onset. † Infraclavicular block with or without distal blocks of the median, ulnar, and radial nerves were compared using the same total dose of local anaesthetic. † A more rapid onset and more consistent block occurred in the combined group. Background. This prospe...
