Effect of Radial Nerve Release on Lateral Epicondylitis Outcomes: A Prospective, Randomized, Double-Blinded Trial.

Purpose: The purpose of our study was to examine the result of lateral epicondylitis surgery with and without posterior interosseous nerve release.

Methods: We conducted a prospective, randomized, double-blind single-center clinical trial in 54 patients treated surgically for lateral epicondylitis, without any EMG or imaging sign of compression of the posterior interosseous nerve at the arcade of Frohse. The patients were equally divided into intervention (supplemental radial nerve release) and control groups (no radial nerve release).

Robot-assisted free toe pulp transfer: feasibility study.

The current tendency of microsurgery is heading toward supermicrosurgery and microsurgery assisted by robotics. The aim of this work was to study the feasibility of a free hallux hemipulp transfer with a surgical robot in a cadaveric model. We used a human body.

Mini-invasive robot-assisted surgery of the brachial plexus: a case of intraneural perineurioma.

Brachial plexus surgery requires extensive incisions. They are esthetically unsightly and compromise the quality of recovery after nerve repair surgery. We present a new approach to brachial plexus surgery using mini-invasive robot-assisted surgery to perform a biopsy of an intraneural perineurioma of the right brachial plexus in a 12-year-old girl.

The Oberlin procedure for restoration of elbow flexion with the da Vinci robot: four cases.

Unlabelled: Robotics allows up to 40× visual magnification and 10× magnification of the surgeon's movements, and eliminates physiologic tremors. These properties should allow the development of mini-invasive limb surgery, especially of the brachial plexus. The purpose of this work was to test the feasibility of the restoration of elbow flexion according to the technique of Oberlin using a da Vinci robot.
