Role of high-resolution peripheral nerve magnetic resonance imaging in diagnosing median nerve tethering in a case of both-bone forearm fracture in a child.

Forearm fractures are common injuries in pediatric patients. We present a case of median nerve tethering as a complication of both-bone forearm fracture in a child, with an emphasis on MRI as an appropriate and important complement to clinical and electrodiagnostic examination. Early intervention is essential because delayed surgical management of median nerve tethering can result in poor clinical outcomes as a result of irreversible muscle denervation.

Current State of Surgical Lighting.

Surgical performance in the operating room (OR) is supported by effective illumination, which mitigates the inherent environmental, operational, and visual challenges associated with surgery. Three critical components are essential to optimize operating light as illumination: (1) centering on the surgeon's immediate field, (2) illuminating a wide or narrow field with high-intensity light, and (3) penetrating into a cavity or under a flap. Furthermore, optimal surgical illumination reduces shadow, glare, and artifact in visualization of the surgical site.

Prospective respiratory triggering improves high-resolution brachial plexus MRI quality.

Background: Oblique sagittal MRI sequences, orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the brachial plexus, can reliably depict morphologic and signal abnormalities. However, nerve visualization may be obscured by ghosting artifact from periodic respiratory motion. Respiratory triggering (RT) with a thoracoabdominal bellows can reduce ghosting artifact, but it is not routinely used for brachial plexus MRI.
