Surgical Outcome of Ulnar Nerve Lesions: Not Always Disappointing
نویسنده
چکیده
Results: The most widely recognized mechanism of injury was laceration in all levels. In 95 cases (81%) good functional outcome (Grade 3 or better) was achieved. The best prognosis achieved in the neurolysis (86%) and direct suture (84%), respectively. Good functional outcome was achieved in 86% of patients with nerves in continuity, and 80 % of lesions not in continuity. Overall good functional outcome was achieved in 81% (95 cases) of procedures.

Outcome following Nerve Repair of High Isolated Clean Sharp Injuries of the Ulnar Nerve
OBJECTIVE The detailed outcome of surgical repair of high isolated clean sharp (HICS) ulnar nerve lesions has become relevant in view of the recent development of distal nerve transfer. Our goal was to determine the outcome of HICS ulnar nerve repair in order to create a basis for the optimal management of these lesions. METHODS High ulnar nerve lesions are defined as localized in the area ra...
متن کاملUlnar nerve compression in Guyon's canal: MRI does not always have the answer
Lipoma is a rare cause of ulnar nerve compression in Guyon's canal. All four previously reported cases from 2000 to 2009 have been accurately diagnosed on MRI. We present a case report where the MRI and surgical findings differed and a summary of the previous cases in the literature. We conclude that although MRI remains the best investigation for this condition, it is not always accurate and c...
متن کاملUltrasound-guided Percutaneous Medial Pinning of Pediatric Supracondylar Humeral Fractures to Avoid Ulnar Nerve Injury.
Background: Medial pinning is one of the most controversial aspects of the surgical treatment of supracondylar fractures (SHF) owing to the risk of ulnar nerve injury. Aim: To evaluate the safety and usefulness of medial pinning for SHF using ultrasound imaging for ulnar nerve visualization. Methods: Fifteen children, with a mean age of 60 months, with displaced SHF were treated with a cros...
متن کاملModified Simple Decompression of Ulnar Nerve in Treat-ment of Cubital Tunnel Syndrom
BACKGROUND There are two main surgical approaches, simple ulnar nerve decompression at the elbow, and anterior transposition of the nerve in treatment of cubital tunnel syndrome. Both techniques were reported in literature in details with similar reported success rates. Here, we present a modified simple de-compression surgical technique in treatment of cubital tunnel syndrome. METHODS Fifty...
متن کاملSubcutaneous vs Submuscular Ulnar Nerve Transposition in Moderate Cubital Tunnel Syndrome
BACKGROUND The surgical treatment of Cubital tunnel syndrome (CubTS) is still a matter of debate. No consensus exists about the necessity of anterior transposition of the ulnar nerve after decompression. However, this technique is fairly common in clinical practice. MATERIAL AND METHODOLOGY In the present study we compared the operative technique (incision length, operative time), postoperati...
