Background. Due to anatomical proximity to bone, the radial nerve is the most frequently injured major nerve of the upper extremity, frequently secondary to fractures (Li et al. (2013)). We describe an incidence when a branch of the radial nerve is injured as a result of a thermal injury. Observation. Radial nerve injury can occur anywhere along the anatomical course with varied etiologies, but...

OBJECTIVE The relationship of Gantzer muscle to the median and anterior interosseous nerve is debated. METHODS Ìn an anatomical study with 80 limbs from 40 cadavers the incidence, origin, insertion, nerve supply and relations of Gantzer muscle have been documented. RESULTS The muscle was found in 54 forearms (68% of limbs) and was supplied by the anterior interosseous nerve. It arose from t...

The incidence of superficial arteries was studied in 68 (38 right and 30 left) upper extremities. One right limb of an adult male presented a superficial arterial pattern (2.63%, total 1.47%) resembling a superficial brachio-ulno-radial artery (SBUR). The median nerve crossed the superficial brachial artery (SBA) from the posterior to the medial side and again posterior to the same at the cubit...

A comparison was made of the results produced by the circumtibial and interosseous routes of transfer of tibialis posterior for the correction of foot drop due to leprosy neuritis. The findings in 69 feet, of which 63 also had elongation of tendo Achillis, showed that the interosseous route gave a much lower incidence of recurrent inversion deformity of the foot. The results, in terms of improv...

A case of soft tissue chondroma or extraskeletal chondroma is described. The tumour caused compression of the posterior interosseous nerve. Excision and biopsy were performed with complete resolution of the symptoms.

Surgical management of velopharyngeal insufficiency by attachment of posterior pharyngeal flap or construction of sphincter pharyngoplasty is reviewed. Posterior pharyngeal flap surgery is well established, with a long history dating back to the 19th century. Flaps have been based superiorly, inferiorly, or laterally. There have been reports of airway obstruction and obstructive sleep apnea ass...

Fractures of the radial head and radial neck correspond to 1.7-5.4% of all fractures and approximately 30% may present associated injuries. In the literature, there are few reports of radial head fracture with posterior interosseous nerve injury. This study aimed to report a case of radial head fracture associated with posterior interosseous nerve injury. CASE REPORT A male patient, aged 42 y...
