Radial nerve injury after routine peripheral vein cannulation.

The dorso-radial aspect of the wrist and hand is a common location for intravenous (IV) cannulation prior to anesthesia. The sensory branch of the radial nerve lies superficially in this area, and it can be injured during routine insertion of IV catheters. In this case, the nerve was lacerated during insertion and a painful neuroma developed after elective surgery and anesthesia. Knowledge of this complication may help with its recognition and treatment.

Digital subtraction wrist arthrography: use of double contrast technique as a supplement to single contrast arthrography.

A new technique using double contrast after digital subtraction wrist arthrography is presented. Results of the double contrast wrist arthrograms were essential to the diagnosis, confirmed the diagnosis, or salvaged an otherwise poor or nondiagnostic examination. It was found that intra-articular injection of air augments the information obtained during postarthrogram active motion studies under fluoroscopy. Double contrast wrist arthrography has proved valuable when the standard contrast arthrogram fails to yield diagnostic information.

Shoulder-hand syndrome in patients with intracranial neoplasms.

The diagnosis of Shoulder-Hand Syndrome in patients with cerebral neoplasms is difficult and often overlooked. Three cases are reviewed to illustrate this important clinical association.

Cutaneous larva migrans in the upper extremity.

Parasitic infestation may resemble bacterial inflammation leading to inappropriate therapy. Three cases of cutaneous larva migrans of the upper extremity are presented in order to emphasize diagnostic and treatment modalities.

Physiological fixation of displaced and unstable fractures of the hand.

The operative stabilization of fractures of the hand should not be considered a "radical" approach to the treatment of these injuries. These methods, when properly applied and well executed, influence wound healing by restoring the original length and alignment of the injured tissues. Skeletal stability allows immediate joint mobility in a protected environment. A rapid return to a state of tissue equilibrium can be predicted in many cases.
