Abstract

Ganglions which occur in the nerves are named intraneural ganglion or nerve sheath ganglion. It should be considered in the differential diagnosis of any tumors causing neural disturbance. We review an intraneural ganglion, particularly arising in the common peroneal nerve with emphasis placed on usefulness of MRI for detecting this very unusual condition. MRI can clearly visualize a multilobular mass in the course of the nerve near the joint. The mass has low-signal intensities on T1-weighted images and homogenously high-signal intensities on T2-weighted images. The alteration of signal intensities of the muscles in the innervated compartments due to denervation is another finding for this unusual condition. During the surgery, dissection between ganglia and the nerve is difficult due to adhesions. Early diagnosis and treatment are recommended to prevent nerve damage.

Knie-TEP: Kein Vorteil durch antibiotikahaltigen Knochenzement

29.05.2024 Periprothetische Infektionen Nachrichten

Zur Zementierung einer Knie-TEP wird in Deutschland zu über 98% Knochenzement verwendet, der mit einem Antibiotikum beladen ist. Ob er wirklich besser ist als Zement ohne Antibiotikum, kann laut Registerdaten bezweifelt werden.

28.05.2024 Häusliche Gewalt Nachrichten

In der Notaufnahme wird die Chance, Opfer von häuslicher Gewalt zu identifizieren, von Orthopäden und Orthopädinnen offenbar zu wenig genutzt. Darauf deuten die Ergebnisse einer Fragebogenstudie an der Sahlgrenska-Universität in Schweden hin.

Fehlerkultur in der Medizin – Offenheit zählt!

28.05.2024 Fehlerkultur Podcast

Darüber reden und aus Fehlern lernen, sollte das Motto in der Medizin lauten. Und zwar nicht nur im Sinne der Patientensicherheit. Eine negative Fehlerkultur kann auch die Behandelnden ernsthaft krank machen, warnt Prof. Dr. Reinhard Strametz. Ein Plädoyer und ein Leitfaden für den offenen Umgang mit kritischen Ereignissen in Medizin und Pflege.
