Validity of Measurement of Shear Modulus by Ultrasound Shear Wave Elastography in Human Pennate Muscle

Ultrasound shear wave elastography is becoming a valuable tool for measuring mechanical properties of individual muscles. Since ultrasound shear wave elastography measures shear modulus along the principal axis of the probe (i.e., along the transverse axis of the imaging plane), the measured shear modulus most accurately represents the mechanical property of the muscle along the fascicle direction when the probe’s principal axis is parallel to the fascicle direction in the plane of the ultrasound image. However, it is unclear how the measured shear modulus is affected by the probe angle relative to the fascicle direction in the same plane. The purpose of the present study was therefore to examine whether the angle between the principal axis of the probe and the fascicle direction in the same plane affects the measured shear modulus. Shear modulus in seven specially-designed tissue-mimicking phantoms, and in eleven human in-vivo biceps brachii and medial gastrocnemius were determined by using ultrasound shear wave elastography. The probe was positioned parallel or 20° obliquely to the fascicle across the B-mode images. The reproducibility of shear modulus measurements was high for both parallel and oblique conditions. Although there was a significant effect of the probe angle relative to the fascicle on the shear modulus in human experiment, the magnitude was negligibly small. These findings indicate that the ultrasound shear wave elastography is a valid tool for evaluating the mechanical property of pennate muscles along the fascicle direction.     

Cubital Tunnel External Compression Syndrome

External compression of the cubital tunnel comprises the acute and subacute forms of ulnar nerve compression at the elbow. Subacute compression is often seen in hospital practice and sometimes results in partial crippling of the hand. Prognosis for complete recovery is poor. Avoidance of a position of the elbow which predisposes to external compression of the ulnar nerve within the cubital tunnel is advised when a patient is on the operating table, in bed or in an armchair. Prolonged severe elbow flexion in these circumstances should also be avoided. The patient suffering from the syndrome should be instructed to avoid further pressure so that worsening of the palsy is minimized. A compressed nerve is likely to be more sensitive than a normal nerve to ischaemia produced by subsequent pressure. Surgical treatment is sometimes indicated at least to halt progression of the palsy.     

The position of crossing branches of the medial antebrachial cutaneous nerve during cubital tunnel surgery in humans

The posterior branch of the medial antebrachial cutaneous nerve courses in proximity to the cubital tunnel and is particularly prone to injury during ulnar nerve release at the elbow. Inadvertent injury to medial antebrachial cutaneous nerve branches during surgery can result in the formation of painful neuromas that can be misdiagnosed as recurrent disease. It is important to understand the relevant anatomy of the medial antebrachial cutaneous nerve branches during cubital tunnel surgery to avoid significant postoperative morbidity. This prospective observational anatomic study examined the position of the posterior branch of the medial antebrachial cutaneous nerve in relationship to a standard approach to the cubital tunnel in a randomly selected group of 97 patients undergoing primary surgery over a 3-year period. Medial antebrachial cutaneous nerve branches were noted to cross at or proximal to the medial humeral epicondyle 61 percent of the time at an average proximal distance of 1.8 cm. Medial antebrachial cutaneous nerve branches were noted to cross distal to the medial humeral epicondyle 100 percent of the time at an average distal distance of 3.1 cm. Understanding the general position of crossing medial antebrachial cutaneous nerve branches during ulnar nerve release at the elbow may help to prevent iatrogenic injury to this cutaneous nerve.     

Effective surgical treatment of cubital tunnel syndrome based on provocative clinical testing without electrodiagnostics

This study evaluated the effectiveness of identifying surgically correctable ulnar nerve compression at the elbow based on provocative clinical testing alone in patients with cubital tunnel syndrome after failure of conservative treatment. Twenty-four patients were included in the study (mean age, 60 years). Three patients underwent bilateral procedures. Patients complaining of symptoms in the distribution of the ulnar nerve were tested by elicitation of Tinel's sign and combined flexion and pressure testing at the elbow and wrist. Two-point discrimination was determined. After a failed 6-week trial of conservative therapy patients underwent anterior submuscular transposition of the ulnar nerve with carpal tunnel release. Postoperatively, the change in two-point discrimination as measured at 6 months was significantly improved, with a mean improvement per digital nerve of 2.52 mm (p<0.001). Mean time to relief was 7.2 weeks. Complications included one hematoma and one seroma. A total of 26 of the 27 limbs chosen for surgical treatment by provocative clinical testing alone experienced relief of symptoms with anterior submuscular transposition of the ulnar nerve and carpal tunnel release. This study demonstrates the effectiveness of surgical therapy in patients with lesions identified by clinical examination without electrodiagnostic testing.     

Comparison of two ways of altering carpal tunnel pressure with ultrasound surface wave elastography

Higher carpal tunnel pressure is related to the development of carpal tunnel syndrome. Currently, the measurement of carpal tunnel pressure is invasive and therefore, a noninvasive technique is needed. We previously demonstrated that speed of wave propagation through a tendon in the carpal tunnel measured by ultrasound elastography could be used as an indicator of carpal tunnel pressure in a cadaveric model, in which a balloon had to be inserted into the carpal tunnel to adjust the carpal tunnel pressure. However, the method for adjusting the carpal tunnel pressure in the cadaveric model is not applicable for the in vivo model. The objective of this study was to utilize a different technique to adjust carpal tunnel pressure via pressing the palm and to validate it with ultrasound surface wave elastography in a human cadaveric model. The outcome was also compared with a previous balloon insertion technique. Results showed that wave speed of intra-carpal tunnel tendon and the ratio of wave speed of intra-and outer-carpal tunnel tendons increased linearly with carpal tunnel pressure. Moreover, wave speed of intra carpal tunnel tendon via both ways of altering carpal tunnel pressure showed similar results with high correlation. Therefore, it was concluded that the technique of pressing the palm can be used to adjust carpal tunnel pressure, and pressure changes can be detected via ultrasound surface wave elastography in an ex vivo model. Future studies will utilize this technique in vivo to validate the usefulness of ultrasound surface wave elastography for measuring carpal tunnel pressure.
