AI Article Synopsis

  • * Common mononeuropathies discussed include carpal tunnel syndrome (most prevalent), ulnar neuropathy, and peroneal neuropathy, among others.

Article Abstract

This article provides an overview of the most common mononeuropathies. It includes a description of the neuroanatomy and function of each nerve which allows clinical localization of the lesion. It also describes the clinical presentation, findings in electrodiagnostic studies, updates in imaging including neuromuscular ultrasound and magnetic resonance neurography, and recommended treatment. While mononeuropathies may be part of polyneuropathy, this scenario is beyond the scope of this article. The most common mononeuropathy is carpal tunnel syndrome. Its prevalence in the United States is estimated at 50 per 1,000. The second most common entrapment neuropathy is ulnar neuropathy at the elbow. The incidence was calculated as 20.9% in a 2005 study. The most common compressive neuropathy of the lower extremity is peroneal neuropathy. Other common mononeuropathies included in this article are radial neuropathy, tibial neuropathy, and femoral neuropathy.

Complications following volar locking plating (VLP) of distal radius fracture (DRF) are frequent. Increasing evidence has shown an inverse relationship between increased surgeon experience and fewer complications in a variety of surgeries, and this study aimed to verify whether this relationship existed when specified in the DRF surgically treated with VLP. Patients with an unstable DRF surgically treated by VLP in our institution between January 2016 and December 2021 were included.

Primary (AL) systemic amyloidosis is an uncommon disorder in which immunoglobulin light chains are deposited in the tissues as amyloid, resulting in organ dysfunction. The initial symptoms are frequent fatigue and weight loss, and common manifestations include nephrotic syndrome, cardiomyopathy, peripheral neuropathy or hepatomegaly. Histological examination reveals some degree of amyloid deposition in virtually every organ system except the central nervous system (CNS).
