Local steroid injections are widely used for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes in the management of carpal tunnel syndrome. The median nerve injury is the most serious complication in association with carpal tunnel injections although the incidence is low. A median nerve injury will be presented with shooting pain at the injection time along with other sensory distortion, motor weakness and m...

The aim of this study was to better quantify the role of delayed MRI scans in acute wrist injuries, and to assess the prevalence and distribution of multiple occult injuries of the wrist. A retrospective study was made of all patients who had been referred to the orthopaedic trauma clinic for a possible scaphoid fracture and with normal radiographs over a two year period. There were 110 patient...

Clinical neurophysiological testing is an important integral part of neurological diagnosis and management. During Covid-19 pandemic non-emergency clinics have suffered adversely. WHO declared in March 2020. records from 2019 to 2021 were analyzed, for impact on profile 924 patients referred nerve conduction studies (NCS). It was observed that percentage referrals showing normal NCS decreased 4...

BACKGROUND Increased occurrence of Raynaud's phenomenon, neurosensory injury and carpal tunnel syndrome has been reported for more than 100 years in association with work with vibrating machines. The current risk prediction modelling (ISO-5349) for "Raynaud's phenomenon" is based on a few studies published 70 to 40 years ago. There are no corresponding risk prediction models for neurosensory in...

WEBB, B.G. and L.A. RETTIG. Gymnastic wrist injuries. GUTT. Sports Med. Rep.. Vol. 7, No. 5. pp. 289-295, 2008. During gymnastic activities, the wrist is exposed to many different types of stresses, including repetitive motion, higii impact loading, axial compression, torsiorml forces, and distraction in varying degrees of ulnar or radial deviation and hyperextension. Many of these stresses are...

BACKGROUND The authors have observed that carpal tunnel surgery nerve blocks consisting of subfascial distal volar forearm injection of 10 cc of 1% lidocaine with epinephrine result in fingers that appear hyperemic, warm, and numb in both median and ulnar nerve distributions. The purposes of this study were to (1) determine whether forearm nerve blocks in patients undergoing carpal tunnel relea...
