Surgical Treatment of Iatrogenic Nerve Injury Following Arthroscopic Capsulolabral Repair

Sixteen patients were operated on consecutively for palsy of the posterior interosseous nerve. The aetiologies were traumatic in 12 patients and non-traumatic in four. Operative neurolysis was done in six cases. Neurorrhaphy with sural nerve grafting was performed in two cases. Tendon transfer was done in eight cases. Relief of compression has the best result followed by nerve repair. Iatrogenic nerve injury after radial plating carried the worst prognosis. Although motor power was not normal after surgery, tendon transfer still provided a useful hand with residual extension lag of the fingers. The prognosis of operative treatment of posterior interosseous nerve syndrome depends mainly on its aetiology.

Femoral Nerve Injury

After introduction of EMG at Dhaka Medical Collage onJanuary 01, 2006, a total of 415 cases referred to EMGlaboratory for electrophysiological evaluation over a periodof two years(January 01, 2006 to December 31, 2007). Among these, 7cases diagnosed as iatrogenic nerve injuries. The subtypesof iatrogenic nerve injuries were:1. Accessory nerve injury: three, 2. Femoral nerve injury:one, 3. Sciatic nerve injury: one,4. Lumbar sacral plexus injury: one, 5. Combined sciaticand femoral nerve injury: oneIn order to investigate the causes, diagnosis & preventionof iatrogenic nerve injuries; we have reviewed 7 cases ofiatrogenic nerve injuries. The peripheral nerve injuriesoccurred due to lack of proper awareness of medicalpersonals. These injuries are iatrogenic injuries so it isuseful to review the mode of injuries and means ofprevention.DOI: 10.3329/jbcps.v28i2.5373J Bangladesh Coll Phys Surg 2010; 28: 121-124

The Relationship

Background The purpose of this study was to define the relationship of the axillary and radial nerves, particularly how these are affected with changing arm position. Methods Twenty cadaveric shoulders were dissected, identifying the axillary and radial nerves. Distances between the latissimus dorsi tendon and these nerves were recorded in different shoulder positions. Positions included adduction/neutral rotation, abduction/neutral rotation for the axillary nerve, adduction/internal rotation, adduction/neutral rotation, adduction/external rotation, and abduction/external rotation for the radial nerve. Results Width of the latissimus tendon at its humeral insertion was 29.3 ± 5.7 mm. Mean distance from the latissimus insertion to the axillary nerve in adduction/neutral rotation was 24.2 ± 7.1 mm, the distance increased to 41.1 ± 9.8 mm in abduction/neutral rotation. Mean distance from the latissimus insertion to the radial nerve was 15.3 ± 5.5 mm with adduction/internal rotation, 25.8 ± 6.9 mm in adduction/neutral rotation, and 39.5 ± 6.8 mm in adduction/external rotation. Mean distance increased with abduction/external rotated 51.1 ± 7.4 mm. Conclusions Knowing the axillary and radial nerve locations relative to the latissimus dorsi tendon decreases the risk of iatrogenic nerve injury. Understanding the dynamic nature of these nerves related to different shoulder positions is critical to avoid complications.
