Material and methods. Twenty-two patients with compression-ischemic neuropathy were included into the study. Low-level laser device “ALOK-1” was used for therapy. Its beam impacts tissues directly; its power is 1 mW, wavelength – 0.63 μm, spot diameter 0.8 mkm. Results. Subjective, objective instrumental findings became significantly better, if to compare pre-operative period. Conclusion. The d...

Compression of the median and ulnar nerves at the wrist is frequently encountered. Carpal tunnel syndrome usually occurs without any obvious extrinsic cause; several cases have however been reported caused by anomalous or hypertrophic muscles. A survey of the literature shows that compression neuropathy of the median nerve has been reported in relation with anomalies affecting three muscles: th...

BACKGROUND Rotator cuff tearing has been found to be clinically associated with other tendinopathies and compression neuropathies; a significant excess of these phenotypes has been seen in patients with rotator cuff tears. It is unclear if the association is secondary to environmental or genetic influences. PURPOSE To examine population-based data for comorbid association of rotator cuff tear...
