Background: Few reports represent palmar cutaneous nerve neuropathy in the wrist due to a ganglion cyst. Case Presentation: A 25-year-old female was presented with a mass at volar side of the wrist and hypoesthesia at the base of thenar eminence. At ulrasonographic examination, a simple cyst was detected. Sensory response of palmar cutaneous branch of median nerve was absent at the affec...

BACKGROUND Refinements in microsurgery have made distal finger replantation an established technique with high success rates and good functional and aesthetic outcomes. However, it still represents a technically demanding procedure due to the small vessel caliber and frequent lack of vessel length, requiring the use of interpositional venous grafts in some instances. We describe a new technique...

Using the anterior branch of the medial antebrachial cutaneous nerve, grafting was performed on twenty-one digital nerves. The goal of the procedure was to repair a traumatic defect of greater than one centimeter in the digital nerves of fourteen patients. The patients were followed for twenty-four to eighty-nine months (average, fifty-seven months). All but one nerve graft restored the ability...

The aim of this study was to investigate the anesthetic effect and risk of epinephrine for subcutaneous single injection digital block. Either 3.0 mL 1.0% Lidocaine or a 3.0 mL 1.0% Lidocaine with (1 : 100,000) epinephrine was injected into the subcutaneous space at the middle point of the palmar digital crease of the 18 middle fingers of 9 healthy volunteers. The SpO(2) of the fingers decrease...

History Felix Platter of Switzerland appears to have been the first to document what later came to be called Dupuytren’s disease (DD) in his case report published in 1614 of a stonemason with digital contractures of his ring and little fingers. Unfortunately, he misattributed the deformity to contracture of the flexor tendons so was superseded by later anatomists who correctly delineated the fa...

Lichen nitidus is an uncommon skin condition that is clinically characterized by the presence of pinpoint papules, which are usually asymptomatic, flesh colored, with a flat, shiny surface. The histopathologic feature of it is characteristic. We report a 30-year-old man with typical skin lesions of lichen nitidus confirmed with histopathology, who also had multiple palmar pits. Treatment ...
