The diagnosis of nerve injury using thermotropic liquid crystal temperature strips was compared blindly and prospectively against operative findings in 36 patients requiring surgical exploration for unilateral upper limb lacerations with suspected nerve injury. Thermotropic liquid crystal strips were applied to affected and non-affected segments in both hands in all subjects. A pilot study show...

AIMS AND OBJECTIVE Study was undertaken to observe the variation in the innervation of muscles in the front of arm. The results were compiled. Embryological basis and clinical applications of encountered variations were tried to explain with the help of available literature. MATERIAL AND METHODS Thirty upper limbs from fifteen cadavers were dissected to observe the contents of front of arm. M...

Glaucoma is a type of visual impairment that caused due to damage in the optic nerve. The vision loss increases from peripheral towards central vision, leading blindness if untreated. proposed approach Computer-Aided Detection (CADe) system using deep learning screen field glaucoma patients while performing different day-to-day activities such as searching objects, viewing photographs, etc. Inc...

There is particular interest in parotid surgery on account of the close relationship between the gland and the extrapetrous facial nerve. The seventh cranial nerve is generally located by means of an anterograde or proximal surgical identification technique aimed at identifying the facial nerve at its point of exit from the stylomastoid canal. There are very few reports in the literature on ret...

introduction: repair of peripheral nerve injuries is an intensive area of challenge and research in modern reconstructive microsurgery. intensive research is being carried out to develop effective alternatives to the standard nerve autografting, avoiding its drawbacks. the aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a newly designed mechanical device for the reconstruction of the scia...

background: maggot therapy has recently attracted considerable attention as an emerging debridement technique for wound healing. this study aimed to review the safety, effectiveness and economic evaluations of maggot debridement therapy for wound healing.   methods: to retrieve the relevant evidences, the cochrane library (until september 2014) was searched by appropriate keywords, using free t...

Supracondylar fracture of the humerus in children may be associated with nerve and vessel injury (Thomas and Alpar 1987). Sometimes attempts at manipulative reduction are unsuccessful. Recent papers have discussed treatment of displaced fractures by traction (Worlock and Colton 1984; Piggot, Graham and McCoy 1986). We report four cases in whom the neurovascular bundle and the biceps tendon came...

BACKGROUND Ulnar-sided approach in arthroscopic triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) repair may jeopardize treatment success by exposing the dorsal sensory branch of ulnar nerve (DSBUN) in risk of injury. We aim to conduct a follow-up assessment of arthroscopic outside-in TFCC repair and efficacy of sensory nerve exploration. METHODS We conducted a retrospective chart review of 58 patient...

In the literature nerve injury is not frequently considered a problem in proximal humeral fractures. Only a few studies exist concerning traction injury of nerves in fractures of the proximal humerus after low-velocity trauma. Almost all of them are retrospective and did not use electromyography. Patients with identical fractures can show quite different outcomes, which vary between complete re...
