Stem cells treatment for sciatic nerve injury

Expert Opinion on Biological Therapy, 2011
Sciatic nerve injury is common and usually results in degeneration of the distal axons and muscle denervation. Chronic muscle atrophy and fibrosis limit the recovery of muscle function and severely compromises efforts to restore muscle function. Despite early diagnosis and modern surgical techniques there is still poor functional recovery.Stem cell ...

Surgery for Sciatic Nerve Injuries

Acta chirurgiae orthopaedicae et traumatologiae Cechoslovaca, 2012
Injury to the sciatic nerve is a rare event. Apart from war time surgery, it usually presents as a closed lesion caused by traction. The aim of the study was to evaluate a group of patients treated for sciatic nerve injury, with an analysis of the cause for and the outcome of surgery.In this prospective study, the results in ten patients treated ...

Missile injuries of the sciatic nerve

Injury, 1999
Missile injuries of the sciatic nerve are not common in civil practice. We analysed a war series of 55 cases operated on in a period from 1991 to 1995. Nerve continuity was preserved at least partially in 76.4% of cases, but only 13.3% of cases had preserved some nerve function.

Unilateral sciatic nerve injury stimulates contralateral nerve regeneration

NeuroReport, 1999
Axonal outgrowth in tissue cultures was measured to determine whether unilateral peripheral nerve injuries affect contralateral nerve regeneration. The right sciatic nerves of young male Wistar rats were cut at mid-thigh level. Sham operation as a control was limited to the exposure of the nerve without cutting.

Delayed sciatic nerve compression following hamstring injury

European Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery & Traumatology, 2017
A 47-year-old man presented three months post-hamstring injury with posterior thigh and buttock pain, paraesthesia over the lateral part of the leg and dorsum of the foot and a foot drop. MRI identified a hamstring muscle injury with a lesion surrounding 20 cm of the proximal sciatic nerve consistent with an extensive haematoma.

MR neurography of sciatic nerve injection injury

Journal of Neurology, 2011
We report on magnetic resonance neurography (MRN) as a supplementary diagnostic tool in sciatic nerve injection injury. The object of the study was to test if T2-weighted (w) contrast within the sciatic nerve serves as an objective criterion for sciatic injection injury.

Sciatic nerve injury following hamstring harvest

The Knee, 2004
Injury to the sciatic nerve following harvesting of the medial hamstring tendons is a complication that has not been described. I report a unique case of sciatic nerve injury above the level of its bifurcation into its terminal branches following hamstring graft harvest for use in ACL reconstruction.

Sciatic nerve injury following misplaced gluteal injection

The Journal of Pediatrics, 1970
Sciatic nerve cicatrix occasionally follows misplaced gluteal injection of drugs. The morphologic changes in the resected segments may include severe cicatrix formation, crystalline deposits, foreign body giant cells, and anomalous collateral sprouting of axons.
