A 54-year-old woman underwent a revision procedure after failure of 3 previous procedures for recalcitrant cubital tunnel syndrome. She underwent neurolysis and vein wrapping of the ulnar nerve during the fourth procedure. Two years later she developed a neuroma of the medial antebrachial cutaneous nerve necessitating a fifth procedure. At the time of neuroma relocation we noted that the vein was intact around the ulnar nerve and that there was no scarring between the vein and nerve.

Mid-term outcomes of elbow hemiarthroplasty using the triceps-on approach for comminuted distal humerus fractures.
J Clin Orthop Trauma
February 2025
Trauma and Orthopaedics East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust Lister Hospital, Stevenage, UK.
Background: There has been an increasing interest in elbow hemiarthroplasty to circumvent the problems with total elbow arthroplasty for comminuted distal humerus fractures in the elderly. The primary aim of the study is to assess the mid-term clinical and radiological outcomes of patients undergoing TEA and hemiarthroplasty for distal humerus fractures.
Methods: Retrospective analysis of data for patients undergoing hemiarthroplasty for distal humerus fractures (OTA- C3 Comminuted total articular fractures) was done.

Objective: To discuss the elbow skin fold extension line in Kirschner wire internal fixation of extended supracondylar humeral fractures in children.
Methods: The clinical data of 58 children with extended supracondylar fractures of the humerus who met the selection criteria between August 2021 and July 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. In 28 cases, needle placement of medial epicondyle of humerus was performed with the assistance of the elbow skin fold extension line (study group), and 30 cases were assisted by routine touch of the medial epicondyle of the humerus (control group).
Comparison of costoclavicular and lateral sagittal infraclavicular approaches in ultrasound-guided brachial plexus block.

Department of Anesthesiology and Reanimation, Yozgat City Hospital, Yozgat, Türkiye.
Objectives: Lateral sagittal infraclavicular approach is frequently used because it has less risk of complications and provides rapid and adequate regional anesthesia. Due to the fact that the brachial plexus is deeper in the infraclavicular region and the approach angle is sharper, it can be technically challenging. In this study, we aimed to compare the costoclavicular approach, which is a newly defined approach, with the lateral sagittal infraclavicular brachial plexus block.

Division of Hand and Upper-Extremity Surgery, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Geisinger Commonwealth School of Medicine, Geisinger MSKI, Danville, PA, USA.
Background: Revision total elbow arthroplasty (rTEA) remains a technically challenging procedure with potential for substantial morbidity. Cases involving excessively long cement mantles, removal of well-fixed implants or infected revisions requiring complete cement removal introduce additional technical challenges. Our purpose was to describe the outcomes, results, and complications associated with the use of cortical windows in rTEA.
