Ultrasonography for nerve compression syndromes of the upper extremity [PDF]
Nerve compression syndromes commonly involve the nerves in the upper extremity. High-resolution ultrasonography (US) can satisfactorily assess these nerves and may detect the morphological changes of the nerves.

The Effectiveness of Plasma Rich in Growth Factors (PRGF) in the Treatment of Nerve Compression Syndromes of the Upper Extremity: A Retrospective Observational Clinical Study [PDF]
Background: Nerve compression syndromes of the upper extremity are a common cause of neuropathic pain and functional impairment. Recently, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) infiltrations have emerged as an effective biological approach to the treatment of this ...

The role of nerve transfers in chronic nerve compression syndromes [PDF]
Abstract Purpose Compression neuropathy is a common problem that results in impaired axonal conduction, and with time, numbness, tingling and weakness from muscle atrophy. Supercharge reverse end-to-side (SETS) nerve transfers have emerged as a novel approach to augment function in chronic nerve compression syndromes ...

Generally speaking neuropathy caused by extrinsic compression may occur anywhere in the body and affect a variety of peripheral nerves. Special anatomic conditions, however, may result in an increased risk for the development of so-called entrapment neuropathies at certain locations.

Endoscopically assisted nerve decompression of rare nerve compression syndromes at the upper extremity [PDF]
BACKGROUND Besides carpal tunnel and cubital tunnel syndrome, other nerve compression or constriction syndromes exist at the upper extremity. This study was performed to evaluate and summarize our initial experience with endoscopically assisted ...

Etiology, Diagnosis, and Treatment of Dynamic Nerve Compression Syndromes of the Elbow Among High-Level Pitchers: A Review of 7 Cases [PDF]
Background: Dynamic compressive neuropathies around the elbow are a rare entity described by a relatively small body of literature, mostly consisting of single-case reports. No standardized diagnostic protocols have been described to date. To the authors’

Compression Neuropathies of the Upper Extremity: A Review [PDF]
Compressive neuropathies of the forearm are common and involve structures innervated by the median, ulnar, and radial nerves. A thorough patient history, occupational history, and physical examination can aid diagnosis.
