Our analysis encompasses patient, anaesthetic, and surgical variables, as well as the rates and severity of neuropathy.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Post-intervention, the rate of surgically acquired or deterioration in nerve injury improved from 15.8% (<i>n</i> = 6) to 2.6% (<i>n</i> = 1). Pre-intervention, the mean TQ duration was significantly longer for patients with post-operative neuropathy versus those without (120 min, SD = 29 vs. 88 min, SD = 38, <i>p</i> = 0.032). Surgery duration was not significantly longer without a TQ but was associated with a greater reduction in haemoglobin (12.7 g/L, SD = 10.9 vs. 25.2 g/L, SD = 15.5, <i>p</i> = 0.03).</p><p><strong>Discussion: </strong>Trauma patients have a high risk of acquiring a nerve injury following elbow surgery or deterioration of a pre-surgical nerve injury, which emphasises the concept of vulnerable nerves. The cessation of using a TQ was associated with a lower nerve injury rate, with no cases of major nerve injury and no significant increase in surgical time.</p>","PeriodicalId":36705,"journal":{"name":"Shoulder and Elbow","volume":" ","pages":"17585732241284255"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11559881/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142629973","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
