The motor Tinel sign (MTS) refers to electromyographic activity, sometimes associated with a visible muscle jerk, evoked by percussion or manipulation of a peripheral nerve. The MTS is found in entrapment neuropathies (such as carpal tunnel syndrome or entrapment of the ulnar nerve at the elbow and peroneal nerve at the fibular head) but occasionally also in normal subjects. The MTS may be useful in evaluating patients with entrapment neuropathy, but it does not always indicate nerve dysfunction.

Cubital Tunnel Syndrome Due to Intraneural Ganglion Cysts of the Ulnar Nerve With Joint-Cyst Connection at the Elbow.
Neurosurgery
November 2024
Department of Hand and Foot Surgery, Shandong Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University, Jinan , China.
Background And Objectives: The unifying articular theory suggests that intraneural ganglion cysts in the cubital tunnel arise from the elbow joint and are connected to the ulnar nerve through an articular branch. This study aimed to report our clinical experience with these cysts and our surgical findings and outcomes.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 13 patients who underwent surgery for cubital tunnel syndrome caused by an intraneural ganglion cyst of the ulnar nerve.
Case Series of Traumatic Peripheral Nerve Injuries in Pediatric Patients Treated with Allograft Repair.

Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Texas Tech University of Health Sciences Center, Lubbock, TX.
Purpose: In the adult literature, allograft reconstruction of gapped peripheral nerve injuries has gained popularity over autologous nerve grafting. Allografts have demonstrated similar recovery while eliminating donor site morbidity. There is no well-defined incidence or treatment of such injuries in children.

Background: Cubital tunnel syndrome (CuTS) is the second most common nerve entrapment syndrome of the upper extremity after carpal tunnel syndrome. In situ decompression (ISD) and ulnar nerve transposition (UNT) are the major surgery methods in practice for the treatment of CuTS. However, controversies exist over the efficacy and safety of these methods.

August 2024
From the Birmingham Hand Centre, Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham, Birmingham, United Kingdom.
Background: Following the repair of a mixed peripheral nerve, functional recovery requires successful nerve regeneration across the repair site and, eventually, reinnervation of distal targets. Reliably determining a failing nerve repair so that revision may be performed before irreversible muscle atrophy remains a challenge in peripheral nerve surgery. This study aimed to ascertain whether any commonly used clinical examination tests during surveillance after nerve repair can detect a failing repair and prompt earlier salvage intervention.

Purpose: Peripheral nerve sheath tumors (PNSTs) are rare in pediatric patients, especially in the brachial plexus. Research on PNSTs is lacking. This article presents a retrospective cohort study of pediatric patients diagnosed and treated with PNSTs, specifically brachial plexus tumors.
