Neuropathic pain (NeP), generated by disorders of the peripheral and central nervous system, can be particularly severe disabling. Prevalence estimates indicate that 2% to 3% population in developed world suffer from NeP, which suggests up one million Canadians have this disabling condition. Evidence‐based guidelines for pharmacological management NeP are therefore urgently needed. Randomized, controlled trials, systematic reviews existing focusing on were evaluated at a consensus meeting....
Fascia iliaca block or femoral nerve is used frequently in hip fracture patients because of their opioid-sparing effects and reduction opioid-related adverse effects. A recent anatomical study on innervation led to the identification relevant landmarks target articular branches accessory obturator nerve. Using this information, we developed a novel ultrasound-guided approach for blockade these hip, PENG (PEricapsular Nerve Group) block. In report, describe technique its application 5...
Adductor canal block contributes to analgesia after total knee arthroplasty. However, controversy exists regarding the target nerves and ideal site of local anesthetic administration. The aim this cadaveric study was identify trajectory all that course in adductor from their origin termination describe relative contributions innervation joint.After research ethics board approval, 20 lower limbs were examined using standard dissection technique. Branches both femoral obturator explored along...
The knee joint is the most common site of osteoarthritis. While replacement considered an ultimate solution, radiofrequency denervation may be contemplated in some cases. Radiofrequency ablation requires precise localization articular branches innervating capsule. objective this cadaveric study was to determine source, course, relationships, and frequency anterior capsule.Fifteen knees were meticulously dissected. number origin recorded, their distribution defined by quadrants. Their...
<h3>BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:</h3> Localization of the culprit CSF leak in patients with spontaneous intracranial hypotension can be difficult and is inconsistently achieved. We present a high yield systematic imaging strategy using brain spine MRI combined digital subtraction myelography for localization. <h3>MATERIALS METHODS:</h3> During 2-year period, at our institution underwent MR to determine presence or absence spinal longitudinal extradural collection. Digital was then performed...
Chronic pelvic pain can present in various syndromes. In particular, interventional procedure plays an important diagnostic and therapeutic role 3 types of syndromes: pudendal neuralgia, piriformis syndrome, “border nerve” syndrome (ilioinguinal, iliohypogastric, genitofemoral nerve neuropathy). The objective this review is to discuss the ultrasound-guided approach procedures commonly used for these specific chronic Piriformis uncommon cause buttock leg pain. Some treatment options include...
<h3>Background and Objectives</h3> The purpose of this cadaveric study was to determine the pattern anterior hip capsule innervation associated bony landmarks for image-guided radiofrequency denervation. <h3>Methods</h3> Thirteen hemipelvises were dissected identify capsule. femoral (FN), obturator (ON), accessory (AON) nerves traced distally, branches supplying documented. relationships potentially visible with ultrasound identified. <h3>Results</h3> received from FNs ONs in all specimens...
