The results of surgical decompression in the treatment of foot drop due to peroneal nerve entrapment after bariatric surgery

Only registered users can translate articles

Background: The loss of the fat pad surrounding the fibular head after rapid and excessive weight loss after bariatric surgery can lead to foot drop symptoms due to peroneal nerve entrapment (PNE). Conservative and surgical approaches

Incidence of ulnar nerve entrapment at the elbow in repetitive work.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Despite the high frequency of work-related musculoskeletal disorders, the relation between work conditions and ulnar nerve entrapment at the elbow has not been the object of much research. In the present study, the predictive factors for such ulnar nerve entrapment were determined in a

Prevalence of Obesity in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Patients: A Cross-Sectional Survey.

Only registered users can translate articles

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common compressive entrapment neuropathy caused by the compression of the median nerve at the wrist space known as the carpal tunnel. The epidemiologic factors related to CTS include genetic, medical, social, vocational, and demographic factors. The common

Association Between Gender, Body Mass Index, and Ulnar Nerve Entrapment at the Elbow: A Retrospective Study.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Entrapment of the ulnar nerve is the second most common compression neuropathy in the upper extremity, but the etiology is multifactorial and still not clearly understood. The authors aimed to determine whether gender and body mass index (BMI) are risk factors for ulnar nerve entrapment

[The carpal tunnel syndrome in the oil toxic syndrome].

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND The toxic oil syndrome (TOS) is an autoimmune disease caused by the ingestion of aniline-denatured rapeseed oil. The carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is an entrapment neuropathy due to the median nerve entrapment, which is associated with both occupational activities and autoimmune diseases.

Endoscopic decompression of the ulnar nerve at the elbow.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Recently, several studies suggested that simple decompression is as effective as anterior transposition in ulnar nerve entrapment syndrome. Simple decompression might be performed with minimally invasive techniques. The authors present their technique and results with endoscopic

Neurolysis for meralgia paresthetica: an operative series of 45 cases.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Failure of symptom relief after neurolysis for meralgia paresthetica (MP) is reported frequently, yet systematic outcome analysis is limited in the modern literature. The present operative series of 45 cases aims to address this issue. METHODS From 1996 to 2000, all patients who had

When exactly can carpal tunnel syndrome be considered work-related?

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), compression of the median nerve at the wrist, is the most frequently encountered peripheral entrapment neuropathy. Whilst rates of all other work-related conditions have declined, the number of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (which include CTS) has

Chronic abdominal wall pain: prevalence in out-patients.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Chronic abdominal wall pain (CAWP) is a frequent and confusing pain. It often leads to many diagnostic tests and sometimes some surgeries before an accurate diagnosis is achieved. Numerus had reported that patients with pain in abdominal wall are frequently treated like some one who is

Carpal tunnel syndrome diagnosis by a self-normalization process and ultrasound compound imaging.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the common entrapment neuropathy that occurs due to compression of the median nerve at the wrist. Ultrasound images have been used to highlight anatomical variants of the median nerve, and CTS is thought to be associated to enlargement of the cross-sectional

Prevalence of carpal tunnel syndrome and median mononeuropathy among dentists.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND The authors undertook a study to determine the prevalence in dentists of abnormal sensory nerve conduction and/or symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome, or CTS, the most common nerve entrapment syndrome. METHODS In a cross-sectional study, dentists (n = 1,079) were screened during the

Assessment of the Presence of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in Patients with Diabetes Mellitus, Hypothyroidism and Acromegaly.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is one of the most common entrapment neuropathies of the upper limbs. It results from compromised median nerve function of the wrist that is caused by increased pressure in the carpal tunnel. Repetitive use of the hand and wrist, obesity, pregnancy, rheumatoid

Meralgia paresthetica.

Only registered users can translate articles

Meralgia paresthetica is a compression neuropathy of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve. Despite its rarity, it is the most common nerve entrapment of the lower limbs. It produces similar symptoms as those associated with the more common L4 or L5 radiculopathy. Therefore, it is often diagnosed late

Ultrasonographic swelling ratio in the diagnosis of ulnar neuropathy at the elbow.

Only registered users can translate articles

High-resolution ultrasound can demonstrate focal nerve enlargement in entrapment neuropathies. We hypothesized that a ratio between the nerve cross-sectional area at the site of maximal enlargement and at an unaffected site may improve diagnostic accuracy in ulnar neuropathy at the elbow (UNE), when

An Association between Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Migraine Headaches-National Health Interview Survey, 2010.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Migraine headaches have not historically been considered a compression neuropathy. Recent studies suggest that some migraines are successfully treated by targeted peripheral nerve decompression. Other compression neuropathies have previously been associated with one another. The goal of
