While the diagnosis of a perforated ulcer is straightforward in typical cases, its clinical onset may be subtle because of co-morbidites and/or concurrent therapies.

OBJECT To improve diagnostic accuracy and achieve high levels of treatment success in patients with pudendal nerve entrapment (PNE) syndromes, the author of this study applied advanced technology diagnostics in distinguishing the various syndrome types according to the different entrapment locations and evaluated new minimal access surgical techniques to treat each subtype. METHODS Two hundre...

The article of Peng and Tumber (1) nicely reviewed current knowledge about ultrasound-guided interventional procedures for patients with piriformis syndrome, border nerve syndrome, and pudendal neuralgia. In the case of pudendal neuralgia, they stated that pudendal nerve entrapment syndrome might be caused either by the pudendal nerve entrapment between the sacrotuberous and the sacrospinous li...

The ISHA Annual Meeting in Rio de Janeiro 2014 provided fresh insight into extra-articular hip pathology and evolving treatments. The Instructional Course Lecture -2 was given the opportunity to present the lecture series in a published format in the Journal for Hip Preservation Surgery. Extra-articular procedures involve the osseous, capsulolabral, musculotendinous, neurovascular and kinematic...

Entrapment neuropathies have been known for many years. The larger peripheral nerve entrapment lesions such as that of the ulnar nerve at the elbow (Paget 1864), carpal tunnel syndrome (Learmonth 1933) and more recently tarsal tunnel syndrome (Keck 1962, Lam 1962) and the entrapment of the radial nerve in the persistent “tennis elbow” (Roles and Maudsley 1972) have all been described. Neuropath...
