“…3). Consequently, our study agrees with authors [3,7] that have suggested injecting the CT between the PLT and the FCU tendon (medial to the PLT) as the MN was more postero-laterally located to the PLT (78.33%). The findings in our study indicated that injection given/incision made lateral to the PLT is more likely to injure the MN than when medially placed.…”

“…There is no consensus amongst authors with regard to the best injection site in the CT; therefore, there is no definitive technique for optimal placement of steroid injection into the CT [15]. The various recommended sites of injection into the CT include: midway between the PLT and the flexor carpi ulnaris (FCU) tendon [3,7], just medial to the PLT [13,22], between PLT and flexor carpi radialis (FCR) tendon [8,11], just medial to the FCR tendon [10] and through the FCR tendon [5] (Table 2).…”

“…[6][7][8][9][10][11][12] En 1966, Phalen 8 analiza su experiencia en 654 pacientes con StC, 270 fueron tratados con un corticoide local. Las complicaciones que describe son un caso de neuritis química del nervio mediano en un paciente sometido a 28 infiltraciones previas, y presenta una foto de la inyección intraneural del corticoide, que muestra el depósito de una sustancia blanquecina sobre el nervio, sin describir la clínica del paciente.…”

“…No existe un protocolo estandarizado para el tratamiento y la rehabilitación de esta complicación; todos los autores recomiendan que, ante la sospecha de una inyección intraneural de corticoides, se debería realizar una exploración quirúrgica, liberar el nervio y eliminar el depósito de corticoide de la superficie nerviosa. [6][7][8][9][10][11] Solo un autor presenta a una paciente que fue sometida a inmovilización combinada con ejercicios de relajación nerviosa y terapia analgésica con gabapentina, paracetamol asociado a tramadol, con mejoría de los síntomas a los seis meses. 12 En todos los casos, la recuperación fue parcial, con mejoría sintomática, pero con debilidad y alteración de la sensibilidad, similar a lo que le ocurrió a nuestro paciente.…”
