background suprascapular neuropathy (ssn) is generally thought of as a diagnosis of exclusion. however, increasing attention is being paid to the diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of this pathology to prevent chronic supraspinatus and infraspinatus atrophy in patients. to date, literature has only articulated variable or customized treatment and rehabilitation plans without clear standard...

results in 41 of 186 (22%) hands, the palmaris longus tendon was absent and absence of the fifth flexor digitorum tendon was noted in eight (4.30 %). the median surface area in the hands without palmaris longus was meaningfully lower than the hands with it (p = 0.025), while the difference in the median surface area was not statistically significant with regard to presence of the fifth flexor d...

Intra-articular entrapment of the median nerve following reduction of a pediatric posterior elbow dislocation is a rare complication but has been reported in the literature.This article describes a case of a 7-year-old girl who sustained a posterior elbow dislocation associated with a medial epicondyle fracture and the subsequent intraosseous entrapment of her median nerve. The entrapment is be...

BackgroundRecurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) injury is a serious complication of thyroidectomy. The purpose this study to determine the predictors and consequences RLN during thyroidectomy.MethodsA retrospective analysis was conducted using ACS-NSQIP 2016–2017 main thyroidectomy targeted procedure databases. Data analyzed by multivariate logistic regression resulting in risk-adjusted odds ratios m...

Olecranon fracture is not an uncommon fracture in clinical practice. Simple olecranon fracture usually heals quite well without any types of iatrogenic complications. Despite close proximity of the fracture to the nerve, median nerve palsy after operative treatment of olecranon fracture is a rare complication. To the authors' knowledge, this complication has not been previously reported in the ...

BACKGROUND: Immunoglobulin-G (IgG) is a product of the initial response to secondary immune response, which accumulates in distal segment nerve after crush injury. Thymoquinone modulates adaptive response. Effect thymoquinone administration on local IgG levels Rattus norvegicus Wistar rats sciatic injury model has not been elucidated.METHODS: This was an experimental study, with 63 that divided...

brain injury due to cerebrovascular disorder, whos lives can be saved, has increased. Along with this phenomenon, however, the number of patients with persistent vegetative state has been increasing, and thus constitutes an important issue. No effective treatment method for persistent vegetative state has been established but some reports have recently shown that spinal epidural stimulation and...

ercutaneous brachial catheterization has become an alternative method for carotid and vertebral angiography.1 Brachial artery catheterization carries risk of injury to the adjacent median nerve with secondary epineural hemorrhage, especially in patients receiving anticoagulants.2 In the case of a mobile cubital brachial artery, it would lead to several attempts of misleading puncture injuries t...
