The relative analgesic value of a femoral nerve block versus adductor canal block following total knee arthroplasty: a randomized, controlled, double-blinded study [PDF]
Background Multiple comparative studies report that adductor canal blocks provide similar pain relief to femoral nerve blocks following total knee arthroplasty.

Tracking intracavernously injected adipose-derived stem cells to bone marrow. [PDF]
The intracavernous (i.c.) injection of stem cells (SCs) has been shown to improve erectile function in various erectile dysfunction (ED) animal models. However, the tissue distribution of the injected cells remains unknown.

Local temperature-sensitive mechanisms are important mediators of limb tissue hyperemia in the heat-stressed human at rest and during small muscle mass exercise. [PDF]
Limb tissue and systemic blood flow increases with heat stress, but the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here, we tested the hypothesis that heat stress-induced increases in limb tissue perfusion are primarily mediated by local temperature-

Background A great extent of knowledge on peripheral nerve regeneration has been gathered using the rat sciatic nerve model. The femoral nerve model of the rat offers an interesting alternative, as it lacks disadvantageous features such as automutilation.

Background The treatment of acute pain in the emergency department is not always optimal. Peripheral nerve blocks using “blind” or nerve stimulator techniques have substantial disadvantages.

Summary: Cerclage wiring is used to reinforce the stability of fractures and optimize plate fixations for femoral fractures such as periprosthetic fractures. However, cerclage wiring requires attention to neurovascular structures to prevent injuries.

Modification of obturator to femoral nerve transfer for femoral nerve palsy
Postoperative femoral nerve palsy with nerve division is a potentially devastating complication with a poor prognosis, especially when there is a delay in diagnosis. We present a novel ‘belt and braces’ approach for managing this unusual injury, using a modification of a nerve transfer, which has only been previously reported in the literature three ...

Ultrasound-Guided Lateral Femoral Cutaneous Nerve Cryoneurolysis for Analgesia in Patients With Burns. [PDF]
Autologous skin grafting from the thigh is frequently required for treatment of burns and is associated with intense pain at the donor site. Local anesthetic-based (LA) nerve blocks of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN) have been demonstrated to ...

Mechanisms for the Age-related Increase in Fatigability of the Knee Extensors in Old and Very Old Adults [PDF]
The mechanisms for the age-related increase in fatigability during high-velocity contractions in old and very old adults ({greater than or equal to}80 yrs) are unresolved. Moreover, whether the increased fatigability with advancing age and the underlying

Nerve Stimulator versus Ultrasound-Guided Femoral Nerve Block; a Randomized Clinical Trial
Introduction:Â Pain control is the most important issue in emergency department management of patients with femoral bone fractures. The present study aimed to compare the procedural features of ultrasonography and nerve stimulator guided femoral nerve ...
