INTRODUCTION This study focuses on an anatomic variation in which the lateral antebrachial cutaneous nerve (LACN) innervates the radial border of the dorsum of the hand and thumb in addition to, or replacing, the superficial radial nerve (RSN). Here, we propose a technique of nerve conduction that identifies this variation. METHODS We studied nerve conduction in 200 upper limbs of two series ...

In the treatment of brachial plexus injury, nerves that are functionally less important are transferred onto the distal ends of damaged crucial nerves to help recover neuromuscular function in the target region. For example, intercostal nerves are transferred onto axillary nerves, and accessory nerves are transferred onto suprascapular nerves, the phrenic nerve is transferred onto the musculocu...

Radial nerve palsy, either axonotmesis or neurapraxia, associated with fractures of the shaft humerus occurred in about 10 percent of the patients with humeral shaft fractures [1,2,3]. Its close relation to the humerus, especially fractures of the middle and the distal thirds of the humerus makes the radial nerve vulnerable to such injuries [4,5,6]. There are many debate about the management of...

The aim was to establish an accurate, reproducible, and simple method to evaluate functional recovery after different types of nerve injuries to the brachial plexus of rats. To that end, pawprints, measured as distance between the first and fourth and second and third digits, were used for evaluation of injuries including crush injury, transection/repair, or graft repair of the median, ulnar, a...

Objective: The objective of the current study was evaluation outcome tendon transfers in high radial nerve palsy for restoration power and function wrist hand Karachi, Pakistan. Methodology: A descriptive case series with clinical data 17 patients analyzed at Department Orthopedics Surgery Dr. Ruth K.M. Pfau Civil Hospital Dow University Health Sciences Pakistan, from January 2018 to December 2...

background: two main muscles studied in the hand for evaluation of median nerve injuries are opponens pollicis (op) and abductor pollicis brevis (apb). however, riché-cannieu communicating branch (rccb) may limit the use of these muscles in electrodiagnosis. this condition is confusing in the case of median nerve injuries. this study was conducted to evaluate the prevalence of rccb.   methods: ...

Aim: Brachial artery access is an alternative approach to endovascular interventions when the femoral, radial, or ulnar arteries not feasible, but it carries higher risk of periprocedural complications than other approaches, including median nerve injury. Nerve injuries can occur by direct puncture compression, with hematoma being most common cause. Sometimes compartment syndrome accompany inju...
