Objectives: Acute compartment syndrome (ACS) is a medical emergency that requires timely intervention, and delays in treatment can lead to severe complications such as nerve injury, muscle necrosis, amputation, and even death. Definitive treatment of ACS requires a fasciotomy. Currently, there is no consensus on the best approach for a forearm fasciotomy; compartment release is most commonly done through volar or combined volar and dorsal incisions.

In this article, we report a case of severe median nerve compression in the forearm caused by a large hematoma resulting from an iatrogenic pseudoaneurysm of the radial artery. Two weeks before presenting to our emergency room with neuropathic pain and persistent numbness of the palm, thumb, index, and middle fingers, as well as thumb motor deficits, the patient had undergone wrist denervation at an external outpatient clinic. Duplex ultrasound indicated a large pseudoaneurysm of the radial artery, which was confirmed by computed tomography angiography.

Purpose: Indications and techniques for biopsy to detect amyloid deposition during carpal tunnel release are evolving. Despite the popularity of endoscopic carpal tunnel release (ECTR), there is concern that this technique may be less able to detect amyloid. Our purpose was to compare the incidence of amyloid deposition detected during ECTR using two different biopsy sources: tenosynovial tissue and antebrachial fascia of the distal forearm.

Background: Brachial plexus injuries (BPI) can be devastating for patients, often resulting in notable physical, psychological, and socioeconomic distress. Violent accidents that torque the head away from the shoulder frequently damage the upper brachial plexus roots, with varying severity of damage to the lower roots. Patients having pan-plexus injuries typically present with a flail extremity, loss of sensory function, and generalized atrophy.
