Treatment of Humeral Fractures With Long PHILOS Plates Using a Modified Technique and Approach Avoids...
Humeral FractureRadial paralysis is a well-known complication of plate osteosynthesis on the humeral shaft. At the University Hospital Basel, these fractures have been treated in an adapted procedure with long PHILOS plates using a modified technique and approach. This study is to retrospectively analyze the effectiveness of the surgical technique in relation to iatrogenic radial paralysis.
Radial Tunnel Syndrome in Resistant Lateral Epicondylitis
Radial Tunnel SyndromeLateral Epicondylitis2 moreLateral elbow pain can be difficult to diagnose because of the different pathologies or combinations of pathologies that can cause this clinic. Although lateral epicondylitis is the most common cause of lateral elbow pain, symptoms of radial tunnel syndrome may masquerade as lateral epicondylitis or they can be seen together with rate of 21-41%. The aim of the study is; to evaluate the presence of radial tunnel syndrome in the patients who have resistant lateral epicondylitis.
Delto-Tricipital Compression Syndrome: Treated With Injection of Dextrose
Superficial Radial Nerve LesionThe posterior antebrachial cutaneous nerve (PACN) can be compressed between the deltoid and triceps, with resultant pain and dysfunction. The active treatment for this study will be injection of the point of compression and along the painful course of the sensory nerve with 5% dextrose. The control treatment will be physical therapy.
Fractures of the Humeral Shaft With Primary Radial Nerve Palsy
Radial Nerve PalsyFunctional OutcomeThis study addresses the question if patients with fractures of the humeral shaft and primary radial nerve palsy gain nerve recovery. Additionally the influence of injury mechanism, fracture type, and treatment modality on nerve recovery should be evaluated.
Tendon Transfer for Irreversible Radial Nerve Palsy, Does it Help?Retrospective Cohort From Level-1...
Radial PalsyRadial nerve palsy is associated with serious disability jeopardizing the grasp and power grip accountable to the loss of thumb and fingers extension and loss of active wrist extension respectively. There are three aims in the treatment of radial nerve palsy which comprise the restoration of thumb extension and abduction, finger extension and restoration of wrist extension. In this study we measured the functional outcome after tendon transfer for radial nerve palsy aimed to restore the wrist extension, finger extension and thumb extension/abduction. Investigators' objective was to assess the functional outcome after tendon transfer surgery for radial nerve palsy.
Neuromuscular Ultrasound for Focal Neuropathies
Focal NeuropathiesCarpal Tunnel Syndrome7 moreThe purpose of this study is to determine if a new diagnostic technique, called neuromuscular ultrasound, can improve our ability to diagnose focal nerve disease.
