results totally, 20 patients completed the study. the cms and pain scores significantly improved after the block. conclusions the use of the modified lateral ssnb of feigl significantly reduces pain and increases shoulder function, in chronic shoulder pain. patients and methods patients were evaluated using the constant-murley score (cms) and number rating scale values for pain. the ssn was blo...

The detailed protocol of the en bloc removal of the mandible, the muscles supplied by the mandibular nerve tree and the maxillary artery is described in the chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes). This new method allows integrated observations of the masticatory muscles, their ontogenetic associates and the specific branches of the mandibular nerve that supply them. The topographic relationships of the m...

Surgery for mandibular condyle fractures must allow direct vision of the fracture, reduce surgical trauma and achieve reduction and fixation while avoiding facial nerve injury. This prospective study was conducted to introduce a new surgical approach for open reduction and internal fixation of mandibular condyle fractures using a modified transparotid approach via the parotid mini-incision, and...

The purpose of this study was to estimate the distance from the mandibular marginal branch of the facial nerve to the inferior margin of the mandible in order to determine the best and safest location to approach the posterior mandibular region. Forty-five hemi-faces of 27 Brazilian adult cadavers were dissected and the distance between the mandibular marginal branch and the inferior margin of ...

introduction: pain control is the most important issue in emergency department management of patients with femoral bone fractures. the present study aimed to compare the procedural features of ultrasonography and nerve stimulator guided femoral nerve block in this regard. method: in this randomized clinical trial, patients with proximal femoral fractures presenting to emergency department were ...

OBJECTIVES Exact location of the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) bundle is very important. The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between the mandibular third molar and the mandibular canal by cone-beam computed tomography. STUDY DESIGN This was a cross-sectional study with convenience sampling. 94 mandibular CBCTs performed with CSANEX 3D machine (Soredex, Finland) and 3D system...

precise localization of the third molars in relation to the inferior alveolar nerve canal is critical from a clinical point of view and strongly affects the surgical treatment outcome. recently, by using three-dimensional modeling software, the relationship of third molar root apices and inferior alveolar nerve canal can be better understood. in this study, the spatial relationship of two surgi...

background the aim of the present study was to compare two analgesic techniques for transrectal ultrasound (trus)-guided biopsy: diclofenac patch versus periprostatic nerve block with 1% lidocaine. objectives to study the efficacy of and compare diclofenac patch and periprostatic nerve block as analgesia in trus-guided prostate needle biopsy. patients and methods in total, 60 patients were pros...

The inferior alveolar nerve block is the most common method of local anesthesia for intraoral surgery at the posterior mandibular region. However, unexpected complications may occur when administering the local anesthesia. One of these uncommon complications is the fracture of the needle. If the injection needle is broken during the surgery, it should be removed immediately. However, this is on...

PURPOSE To establish a model to quantitative histological analysis of the mandibular branch of the facial nerve in rats. METHODS Eleven Wistar rats had their right and left mandibular branches of the facial nerve surgically removed and were sacrificed afterwards. Quantitative histological analysis was performed with: a) partial number of axons; b) partial area of the transversal cut of the ne...
