Dec 2009 were studied. Patients with vascular injuries caused by causes other than tear gas shells were excluded from the study. Results: All patients were treated with reverse saphenous vein graft as segmental loss was less than 2.5 cm. Wound infection was the most common complication, followed by graft occlu-sion. Amputation rate was 16.66%. Associated nerve injury occurred in 44.44% ...

Painful neuropathies can be caused by nerve compression or neuromas. Nerve compressions can arise from scar adhesions causing painful posttraumatic entrapment of nerve branches via fibrosis. The classical treatment methods include neurolysis and nerve transposition. In this case, we present the treatment of recurrent scar entrapment of the saphenous nerve with percutaneous neurolysis and lipofi...

The present study was performed to observe the time course of behavioral signs of painful sensations in sciatic neurectomy animal model and to test the effects of sympathectomy and saphenous nerve section on these behavioral signs. Sciatic nerve was ligated and cut at the mid-thigh level under gaseous anesthesia. The application of von Frey filaments to the medial plantar surface of foot reveal...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to assess whether harvesting of two hamstring tendons (semitendinosus and gracilis) has the same rate of nerve injury as harvesting of the semitendinosus tendon alone, used as a triple graft. METHODS Changes in sensitivity relating to injury of the infrapatellar branch of the saphenous nerve were evaluated in 110 patients six months after they underwent ant...

A 1-year-old, female, domestic shorthair cat was referred for orthopaedic evaluation of acute-onset, non-progressive left pelvic limb lameness 2.5-week duration. Orthopaedic examination revealed an abnormal gait with impaired ability to support weight on the limb. There marked atrophy quadriceps muscles. Neurological absent patellar reflex and decreased sensation in cutaneous zone saphenous ner...

BACKGROUND Endovenous thermal ablation of the small saphenous vein carries a risk for sural nerve injury. Ablation above mid-calf level is recommended to avoid it. However, this strategy could not eradicate this complication. We present our results of consecutive 30 small saphenous vein thermal ablations which are performed after ultrasonographic identification of the sural nerve. METHODS We ...

Post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) develops following traumatic articular insult.1 One model system used to study the progression and treatment of PTOA is destabilization medial meniscus (DMM) as first described by Glasson et al performed in mini-pigs.2–7Miniature-pigs are less available, more expensive have synovial fluid sampling limitations, limiting availability OA biomarkers compared dom...
