“…Olecranon fractures have been associated with median and ulnar neuropathies (32). The effects of old cervical spine fracture in this case may have some of the effects of the double crush syndrome and headaches because of the possibility of "presondylosis"-denervation supersensitivity changes (57).…”

The minimally destructive lateral transpsoas approach to the spine has been used in the treatment of various lumbar spinal pathologies. Approach-specific complications have been reported due to the unique surgical corridor and lateral anatomical structures. The authors report a case of complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) following interbody cage placement utilizing the lateral lumbar transpsoas approach. A review of the literature is discussed. Further clarification of the mechanism of CRPS and its treatments remains crucial for the fine-tuning of novel surgical techniques and complication avoidance during the development of these techniques.

“…Thus, latent MTrPs appear to develop gradually as the child gets older. It has been suggested that a peripheral nerve lesion (particularly radiculopathy) is the cause of MTrP formation (9)(10)(11)77,78). This may be true for the formation of some MTrPs; however, there is clinical evidence to suggest that activation of a latent MTrP (to become an active MTrP) can be induced by a variety of other causes, such as trauma and ischaemia, in addition to peripheral nerve lesion (79)(80)(81)(82)(83).…”

“…Important characteristics of a MTrP include local pain or tenderness, referred pain or referred tenderness, and local twitch response. Trigger point injection or dry needling of the MTrP appears to provide immediate relief of pain related to that MTrP (3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22). It has been suggested that MTrPs are identical to some acupuncture points (6,7), and that the mechanism of MTrP injection is the same as acupuncture (6,7,14,15,23).…”

SummaryA review is made of recent studies on myofascial trigger points (MTrP) and their mechanism is discussed. Clinical and basic science studies have shown that there are multiple MTrP loci in a MTrP region. A MTrP locus contains a sensory component (sensitive locus) and a motor component (active locus). A sensitive locus is a point from which tenderness or pain, referred pain, and local twitch response can be elicited by mechanical stimulation. Sensitive loci (probably sensitised nociceptors) are widely distributed in the whole muscle, but are concentrated in the endplate zone. An active locus is a site from which spontaneous electrical activity can be recorded. Active loci appear to be dysfunctional endplates since spontaneous electrical activity is essentially the same as the electrical activity reported by neurophysiologists as that recorded from an abnormal endplate. A MTrP is always found in a taut band which is histologically related to contraction knots caused by excessive release of acetylcholine in abnormal endplates. Both referred pain and local twitch response are mediated through spinal cord mechanisms, as demonstrated in both human and animal studies.The pathogenesis of MTrPs appears to be related to integration in the spinal cord of response to the disturbance of nerve endings and abnormal contractile mechanism at multiple dysfunctional endplates. There are many similarities between MTrPs and acupuncture points including their location and distribution, pain and referred pain patterns, local twitch responses (de qi), and possible spinal cord mechanism.
