Ref.: Possible
neuropraxia
due to improper/too long application of tourniquet.

Dear
Angelika,
Thank
you very much for your message dated LML Jan. 23rd, 2010. I
feel sorry for the patients three out of four..
To
me it seems that the surgeons need to review the 'technicalities'
around the surgery not the procedures themselves though they take
too much time. It looks
that all three are suffering from neuropraxia due to improper/too long
application of tourniquet. Nerves are likely to recover without
prednisolone.
Regards,
Wim
Brandsma
