2 days ago · Ulnar nerve entrapment (UNE) at the elbow is the second most common nerve compression in the upper extremity after carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) 1, with an incidence of around 20–30 cases per ...
2 days ago · Ulnar-sided wrist pain is a challenging clinical scenario due to multiple overlapping pathologies and involved anatomic structures. Advanced imaging such as magnetic resonance imaging can be used as an effective diagnostic adjunct if interpreted correctly. In this article, clinically relevant structures and radiographic correlates of the ulnar wrist are discussed and a corresponding systematic ...
1 day ago · Central Sensitization refers to an increased excitability of nociceptive neurons in the central nervous system due to continuous or recurrent exposure to noxious stimuli, tissue damage, or nerve damage. This heightened excitability results in a lowered pain threshold and an amplified response to mild or non-pathological stimuli
5 days ago · Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common entrapment neuropathy and consists of the compression of the median nerve as it courses through the carpal tunnel followed by the cubital tunnel syndrome which is the most common site for entrapment for the ulnar nerve.
4 days ago · The ulna bone is one of the two bones in the forearm, the other bone is the radius. It is located on the medial side of the forearm when in the anatomical position (with the palms facing forward). The ulna is primarily responsible for forming the elbow joint with the humerus and articulates with the radius to allow for the movements of the ...
3 days ago · Subsequent reports have mostly focused on median and ulnar nerve mononeuropathies due to compression from tophi, primarily at the wrists and elbows [4,5,6,7,8,9]. As expected, our findings also encompassed a variety of local neuropathies, with median nerve mononeuropathy being the most prevalent—occurring in half of all neuropathy cases and ...
5 days ago · Background. Anterior cutaneous nerve entrapment syndrome (ACNES) is the most common cause of abdominal wall pain. This study aimed to clarify the proportion of ACNES cases among those of abdominal pain and the clinical characteristics and prognosis of the disease in an emergency department (ED) of a Japanese general hospital.
