Case Reports[Local complications after axillary block anesthesia].
The authors treated a local complication after axillary block, probably after intraneural injection of lidocaine. At the operation severe epineural fibrosis was found and released. The result was good after some months. ⋯ This technique axillary block, is very reliable technique, but very few local complications can occur, and it's necessary to know them. It's possible to avoid this local problem with a serious technique to realize axillary block. Never intraneural injection and never many punctures to research paresthesia from the nerves of the brachial plexus.

Case Reports[Heterotopic ossification and ulnar nerve compression syndrome of the elbow. A report of two cases].
Heterotopic ossification is a well known complication in patients after longterm coma following CNS trauma. The association of heterotopic ossification and a nerve compression syndrome situated near the calcifications is less common. The authors present 2 CNS traumatised patients who secondarily developed the association of heterotopic ossification of the elbow with a compressive syndrome of the ulnar nerve. Although heterotopic ossification does not appear to be the direct cause of the nerve compression, it certainly promotes compression it because of the flexion it causes.
