OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical outcomes of ulnar nerve stability-based surgery via a small incision with those of classic anterior transposition of the ulnar nerve for cubital tunnel syndrome. METHODS From March 2008 to December 2013, 107 patients with cubital tunnel syndrome underwent simple decompression or anterior transposition via a small incision, accord...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to describe the relationship between the deep peroneal nerve and the dorsalis pedis artery to help ensure a safer surgical approach in flap surgery. METHODS The dissection of 36 cadaver lower limbs was undertaken to describe the relationship of the deep peroneal nerve to the dorsalis pedis artery in the anterior tarsal tunnel and on the dorsum of the foot....

Tarsal tunnel syndrome (TTS), also known as posterior tibial neuralgia is a painful disorder of the foot. It is a medical condition arising due to the compression of the tibial nerve in the tarsal tunnel, resulting in numbness, parenthesis and muscle weakness in foot. A number of imaging methodologies such as ultrasound as well as MRI imaging has been used in the past in order to analyze the st...

To examine the pathomechanism of entrapment neuropathy associated with diabetes with special emphasis on the roles of mast cells and Tenascin-C using a rat model of Streptozotocin-induced diabetes. The roles of mast cells and Tenascin-C in development of tarsal tunnel syndrome were analyzed electrophysiologically and histologically in 20 male Ws/Ws-/-rats (mast cell deficient) and 20 of their m...

Objective: Determine the prevalence of accessory muscles around ankle patients with pain using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and evaluate its correlation other foot disorders. In addition, better understand association muscle types pain, mechanical due to compression forces structures or neuropathic mass effect tarsal tunnel. Methods: The MRIs obtained from 2007 2017 were retrospectively stu...
