Background:  Medial pinning is one of the most controversial aspects of the surgical treatment of supracondylar fractures (SHF) owing to the risk of ulnar nerve injury.  Aim: To evaluate the safety and usefulness of medial pinning for SHF using ultrasound imaging for ulnar nerve visualization.   Methods: Fifteen children, with a mean age of 60 months, with displaced SHF were treated with a cros...

OBJECTIVE: Diabetes mellitus is one of the most common endocrine diseases with micro-vascular complications and is a common cause of polyneuropathy. We studied the effect of enalapril on electrophysiologic criteria and clinical symptoms of patients with type II diabetes and sensory neuropathy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A double blind study was conducted on 45 Patients with type II diabetes and ne...

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most well-known and frequent form of median nerve entrapment, and accounts for 90% of all entrapment neuropathies. Entrapment neuropathies of the ulnar nerve are relatively common with ulnar neuropathy at the elbow more prevalent than ulnar neuropathy at the wrist. The diagnosis of ulnar neuropathy at the elbow is usually confirmed in a relatively straight – ...

Background and Objectives: There are different types of vascular access. We compared the patency rate for six months in ulnar-basilic fistula and Radio-Cephalic fistula for vascular access in hemodialysis patients.   Methods: The study was performed on 60 patients of 50.6±13.5 years of age with end-stage renal failure undergoing hemodialysis from 2012-2014 in Imam Ali hospital in Zahedan. Pat...

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: ...

A total of 118 consecutive patients with a fracture of the distal radius were treated with a volar locking plate; 50 patients had no ulnar styloid fracture, 41 had a basal ulnar styloid fracture, and 27 had a fracture of the tip of the ulnar styloid. There were no significant differences in radiological and clinical results among the three groups. The outcome was good and was independent of the...

Impaction syndromes related to ulnar-sided pain include ulnar impaction syndrome, ulnar impingement syndrome, ulnocarpal impaction syndrome secondary to nonunion of the ulnar styloid process, ulnar styloid impaction syndrome, and hamatolunate impingement syndrome. The most common of these, ulnar impaction syndrome, is a degenerative condition of the ulnar side of the wrist related to excessive ...

anterior transposition of the ulnar nerve is widely implemented for treatment of cubital tunnel ‎syndrome. however, preservation of the extrinsic blood supply of the ‎ulnar nerve may result in better clinical outcomes. fourteen patients with cubital tunnel ‎syndrome, 11 ‎men and 3 women, were treated by anterior subcutaneous transposition of the ulnar nerve. the extrinsic blood supply of the ul...
