Long term clinical outcome of peripheral nerve stimulation in patients with chronic peripheral neuropathic pain.

5 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: Chronic neuropathic pain after injury to a peripheral nerve is known to be resistant to treatment. Peripheral nerve stimulation is one of the possible treatment options, which is, however, not performed frequently. In recent years we ... Read more...

Transcorporeal approach for disc herniation at the C2-C3 level: a technical case report.

30 Jul 2009 The authors describe a less invasive approach for a disc herniation at the high cervical region. A 68-year-old female patient presented with posterior neck and shoulder pain, and tingling sensation and numbness in the left hand after she fell down ... Read more...

Biceps muscle trauma at birth with pseudotumour formation: a cause of poor elbow flexion and supination in birth lesions of the brachial plexus.

30 Jul 2009 We retrospectively studied the possibility that direct trauma to the biceps muscle might be the cause of poor elbow flexion and supination in 18 consecutive children with birth lesions of the brachial plexus who had delayed or impaired biceps ... Read more...
