Relationship between median nerve vascularization before tourniquet release and the Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire: a cohort study.

The results of this study suggest that a decreased vascularization of the median nerve after releasing the carpal tunnel predicts an inferior clinical improvement assessed by the Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire.

Síndrome compartimental del brazo tras cirugía por fractura supracondilea de húmero / Compartment syndrome of the arm after surgery for supracondylar fracture of the humerus

Presentamos un síndrome compartimental en el brazo que es una localización muy poco frecuente y de la que apenas existe bibliografía. El caso se presentó 48 h después de una cirugía de humero a través de abordaje posterior, aunque afecto al compartimento anterior. Queremos con este caso resaltar la importancia del diagnóstico diferencial al no tratarse de una localización habitual.

We present a compartment syndrome in the arm that is a very rare location and for which there is hardly any literature. The case presented 48 hours after humerus surgery through a posterior approach, although it affected the anterior compartment. With this case we want to highlight the importance of differential diagnosis as it is not a common location.
