The commonest cause of radial nerve dysfunction is from extrinsic compressions of the radial nerve, such as against the shaft of the humerus in “Saturday night palsy”. However, this chapter focuses on the less common intrinsic compression neuropathies of the radial nerve. Intrinsic radial nerve compression neuropathies occur much less frequently than those of the median or ulnar nerves. The com...

STUDY DESIGN In vivo strain techniques were used in an animal radiculopathy model. OBJECTIVE To quantify the severity of compressive nerve root injury and characterize its effect on resultant mechanical allodynia in a lumbar radiculopathy model. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Clinical and experimental work indicate many factors contributing to radicular pain mechanisms, including mechanical inj...

conclusions obtained results demonstrate significant differences between intraneural and perineural injection pressures in the median, ulnar, and radial nerves. intraneural injection pressures show low specificity but high sensitivity suggesting that pressure monitoring might be a valuable tool in improving the safety and efficacy of peripheral nerve blockade in regional anesthesia. peripheral ...

Radial nerve paralysis, which can result from a complex humerus fracture, direct nerve trauma, compressive neuropathies, neuritis, or (rarely) from malignant tumor formation, has been reported throughout the literature, with some controversy regarding its diagnosis and management. The appropriate management of any radial nerve palsy depends primarily on an accurate determination of its cause, s...

A total of 33 children were treated for acute traumatic dislocation of the elbow between 1994 and 2002; 30 dislocations were posterior and three anterior. Eight children had a pure dislocation and 25 had an associated fracture of the elbow. Two had compound injuries. Two children had injury to the ulnar nerve, one to the radial nerve and one to the median nerve together with injury to the brach...

Introduction: Radial nerve injury is comparatively a common occurrence. Recovery, however, depends on the level of injury. Medication, rest and surgery are among treatment regime, although, Orthotic splints frequently used in its management to compensate for failure motor power. The aim this study was modify existing design fabricate an adjustable Dynamic Hand Splint utilizing locally sourced m...

Appleton1, in 1911, reported the first description of this anatomical variation based on a forearm dissection. He found only the posterior radial nerve interosseous branch with absent SRN, below the elbow. On the dorsum of the hand, the LACN extended out beyond its usual distribution to supply the SRN territory (Figure). The dorsal branch of the ulnar nerve had greater ramifications than those ...

case report: we report a 44-year-old man with right femoral nerve palsy following delayed reduction of an anterior dislocation of hip. conclusion: two months after closed reduction, complete clinical recovery of right femoral nerve was achieved and the patient was able to resume his job. introduction: incidence of nerve injury in traumatic hip dislocations is up to 10 %. sciatic nerve is the mo...
