  • Acute ulnar Nerve Compression Syndrome in a powerlifter with triceps tendon rupture--a case report.
    International journal of sports medicine, 2000
    Co-Authors: J. Duchow, J. Kelm, D. Kohn
    Abstract:

    We report on the case of a bodybuilder and powerlifter who suffered from triceps tendon rupture complicated by acute ulnar Nerve Compression Syndrome. The diagnosis was made clinically, radiologically, and sonographically. Ultrasound was helpful to demonstrate a large hematoma at the site of the injury. Early surgical intervention confirmed the presence of the hematoma compressing the ulnar Nerve and led to a complete restoration of ulnar Nerve and triceps muscle function. Few reports on distal triceps rupture have been published but its complication by acute ulnar Nerve Compression has not been reported on yet despite the close anatomical relationship of both structures.

  • comparison of the efficacy between ultrasound guided suprascapular Nerve lysis and blind acupotomy lysis for the treatment of suprascapular Nerve Compression Syndrome
    Pain Clin J, 2018
    Co-Authors: Zhiwei Liang, Shouzhang She
    Abstract:

    Objective To compare the efficacy between ultrasound-guided suprascapular Nerve lysis and blind acupotomy lysis for the treatment of suprascapular Nerve Compression Syndrome. Methods Sixty-four, ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ, patients with suprascapular Nerve Compression Syndrome, aged 20-75 yr, weighing 45-85 kg, were divided into two groups using the random number table, 32 cases in each. The patients in acupotomy group were treated with traditional acupotomy, and cutting off musculi scalenus medius and ligamenta transversum scapulae superius via ultrasound-guided anterior approach to suprascapular Nerve in operative lysis group. The efficacy was evaluated by visual analogue scale (VAS), present pain intensity (PPI) and pain grading index (PRI) after the operation. Japanese orthopaedic association score (JOA) , operative time and activity of daily living scale (ADL) were used to evaluate the prognosis and comprehensive satisfaction of the patients. Results The operative time in operative lysis group (38 ± 8) min was significantly shorter than that in acupotomy group (56±5) min (P<0.05). VAS, PPI and PRI scores were lower in the operative lysis group than those in acupotomy group, and ADL and JOA scores were higher (P<0.05). The total effective rate was 93.8% in operative lysis group, and 62.8% in acupotomy group (P<0.05). The satisfaction rate was higher in operative lysis group (96.9%) than that in acupotomy group (65.6%) (P<0.05). Conclusion The efficacy of ultrasound-guided suprascapular Nerve lysis is superior to that of simple acupotomy for the treatment of suprascapular Nerve Compression Syndrome.

  • unusual complication of an opposition tendon transfer at the wrist ulnar Nerve Compression Syndrome
    Journal of Hand Surgery (European Volume), 2004
    Co-Authors: Jeanpaul Brutus, Jessica A Mattoli, Andrew K Palmer
    Abstract:

    Restoration of thumb opposition by tendon transfer may be necessary in cases of severe thenar atrophy caused by long-standing carpal tunnel Syndrome. Routing the extensor indicis proprius transfer subcutaneously around the ulna to reanimate thumb opposition is an accepted procedure and is considered safe. Ulnar Nerve Compression leading to palsy is possible, however, as shown in the patient presented. Neurolysis failed to improve the palsy. Rerouting of the transfer deep to the ulnar Nerve was necessary to treat the iatrogenic condition. Possible Nerve Compression should be kept in mind when planning a tendon transfer around the ulnar side of the forearm or carpus and when following up with the patient. Early intervention is necessary to prevent permanent sequelae.

  • compressive ulnar neuropathy caused by olecranon bursitis and concomitant epidermal cyst a case report
    The Journal of Hand Surgery, 2017
    Co-Authors: Hiroshi Yamazaki, Michitaka Shinone, Hiroyuki Kato
    Abstract:

    Epidermal cyst is a dermal or subcutaneous epithelial cyst that contains keratin and is lined by true epidermis. Although extremely rare, it can cause pathology including Nerve Compression Syndrome. We report a rare case of ulnar Nerve Compression in the elbow that was caused by olecranon bursitis and concomitant epidermal cyst in a 67-year-old man. The ulnar Nerve was immediately adjacent to the olecranon bursa and was significantly compressed. There was no connection between the tumor and the ulnar Nerve. Pain, numbness, and weakness in his ring and little fingers disappeared after resection of the cyst and bursa.

  • Median Nerve and Ulnar Nerve Palsy Caused by Calcium Pyrophosphate Dihydrate Crystal Deposition Disease: Case Report
    The Journal of hand surgery, 2008
    Co-Authors: Hiroshi Yamazaki, Shigeharu Uchiyama, Hiroyuki Kato
    Abstract:

    Calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystal deposition disease can cause extra-articular pathology including Nerve Compression Syndrome. We report a rare case of this complication in a 79-year-old woman.

  • diagnosis of radial Nerve palsy caused by ganglion with use of different imaging techniques
    Journal of Hand Surgery (European Volume), 1991
    Co-Authors: Toshihiko Ogino, Akio Minami, Hiroyuki Kato
    Abstract:

    Clinical features of six cases of radial Nerve Compression Syndrome as a result of ganglion at the elbow are reported. The usefulness of different imaging techniques for detecting the location of ganglion is compared. The posterior interosseous Nerve was involved in two patients, the radial sensory Nerve in one patient, and both Nerves in three patients. Ultrasonography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging revealed the location of the ganglion in every patient. Ultrasonography was most convenient for screening examination when it was difficult to clearly define a ganglion by palpation. In all patients, a ganglion arose from the anterior capsule of the elbow joint. Dynamic factors in addition to Compression of the Nerve by ganglion-may influence occurrence of the Nerve palsy.
