AI Article Synopsis
- Radial nerve entrapment at the lateral intermuscular septum (LIS) causes aching pain in the outer part of the arm and weakness in extending the wrist and fingers.
- Key indicators of this condition include a positive scratch collapse test and localized pain when pressure is applied to the entrapment site.
- Treatment involves a minimally invasive technique using ultrasound guidance and local anesthesia for effective pain relief and recovery.
Article Abstract
Radial nerve entrapment at the LIS is an aching pain in the distal, lateral upper arm and leads to weakness in wrist and thumb/index finger extension. Additionally, a positive scratch collapse test and localized pain on pressure at the entrapment site are observed. The described approach uses a minimally invasive percutaneous ultrasound-guided technique under local anesthesia.
