BACKGROUND Anatomically, it is difficult to give a systematic description of the superficial branch of the radial nerve (SBRN). Our aim was to describe the exact relationship of the SBRN to fixed bony points of radial styloid and Lister's tubercle, and to the cephalic vein. We also compared our data with other international studies. METHODS The study was a descriptive anatomical study. Twenty...

background: the use of organophosphates (ops) in developing countries is rising in large quantities and non-secure methods. this problem not only causes acute poisoning but also may lead to chronic diseases such as polyneuropathy. in iran, 60% of pesticides are organophosphate compounds that may lead to delayed polyneuropathy. objectives: the purpose of the current study was to evaluate delayed...

<p>Fractures in the distal third of humerus shaft usually are associated with complete or incomplete radial nerve lesions which may be caused due to traction, entrapment compression between bony fragments. We managed these patients by bridge plating using minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis. A total 5 were operated on and all showed full functional recovery nerve. Fractur...

This study aimed to observe the morphological characteristics of a PGLA [poly(glycolide-co-L-lactide)] nerve conduit and regenerated nerve bundle in the human body using high-frequency ultrasound and examine functional recovery of the regenerated nerve using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) after neural prosthesis with a PGLA nerve conduit. Thirty-nine patients underwent high-freque...

Ultrasonographic study is useful for decision making of treatment for focal neuropathy with unusual electrodiagnostic findings. We present a patient with severe acute radial neuropathy with sensory sparing around the distal arm secondary to twisting of the radial nerve following blunt trauma. A 24-year-old man with a 2-week history of left wrist drop and severe pain around the left elbow presen...

A case is reported of high radial nerve palsy in an elite bodybuilder caused by an extrinsic mass effect of muscular hypertrophy. Surgical decompression resulted in complete clinical resolution.

Radial nerve injuries in displaced extension-type supracondylar humeral fractures in children are well known. Entrapment in fracture of radial nerve is uncommon and rarely evocated in literature. We report two similar cases in the mechanism of injury, the clinical findings and the treatment and propose therapeutic guidelines.

The hypothesis that the chronic tennis-elbow syndrome is caused by an entrapment neuropathy of the radial nerve (Roles and Maudsley 1972) was put to the test prospectively in ten patients. Detailed orthopaedic, neurological and neurophysiological examinations did not reveal any involvement of the radial nerve. It is concluded that this syndrome cannot be explained by an entrapment neuropathy.

STUDY DESIGN Prospective Experimental Study. BACKGROUND Computer users may be at risk of lateral elbow pain. It is theorized that adverse mechanical tension can arise in the radial nerve with sustained keyboarding due to sustained static work of the elbow extensor muscles. Neural mobilization has been suggested as a potential treatment. PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the ...

Entrapment of superficial branch of radial nerve is a rare clinical condition where it can be compressed at any point along its course in the forearm. The course of superficial branch of radial nerve between two slips of the split brachioradialis tendon may form a potential site of entrapment for the nerve. The incidence of such entrapment is rarely reported in the literature. Here we report a ...
