EMG in Cubital Tunnel Syndrome

– EMG – General Discussion:     – conduction velocity in the ulnar nerve across the elbow is slowed compared with the velocity in the forearm segment;     – as noted by Kaempffe and Farbach (1998), abnormal EMG results are associated w/ poor surgical outcome;     – position of elbow during EMG/NCS:   … Read more

EMG in Demyelinating Neuropathies

– See: EMG Menu: – Discussion:     – demyelinating neuropathies are characterized by slowing of conduction velocities and latencies, including those of late responses such as F             waves;            – this occurs well before clinical symptoms appear.            – slowing of the conduction velocity is often … Read more

EMG of Myopathic Disorders

– Discussion:     – as general rule, an EMG of patient who has myopathic disease shows a decreased amplitude & duration of response, compared w/ that of unaffected pt,           while an EMG of pt who has neuropathic disorder shows an increased amplitude and duration of response;       … Read more

Enchondral Ossification

– See: – Limb Development – Longitudinal Growth: – Pediatric Bone Circulation – Salter Harris – Epiphyseal Physis: – Discussion: – cartilage model includes three elements, – articular cartilage: – formation of articular cartilage depends on: – interzone formation – resorption of the interzone – intersitial growth of the articular cartilage and underlying epiphyseal cartilage … Read more

Enchondroma

– See:  Bone Tumor Menu / Multiple Enchodromatosis (Ollier’s Disease) – Discussion:     – benign and asymptomatic cartilaginous tumor of bone which most often occurs in adolescents or young adults;     – it is an intramedullary cartilage lesion located in central metaphysis;     – intramedullary tumor develops in adjacent metaphysis and may … Read more

End to Side

– Discussion:     – indicated when there is vessel size discrepancy or when sacrifice of donor vessel in free tissue transfer is not desirable;     – end to side anastomosis preserves  blood flow to distal part of the limb;     – end-to-side anastomosis is more difficult technically;     – esp making … Read more
