Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Orthopedic Surgery

Background:

  • True neurogenic radial tunnel syndrome is an uncommon nerve entrapment.
  • It primarily presents as subjective forearm pain with rare motor deficits.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the morbidity associated with radial tunnel syndrome and its treatment.
  • To emphasize cautious surgical intervention and adherence to indications.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on radial tunnel syndrome.
  • Analysis of treatment outcomes, including surgical decompression.

Main Results:

  • Electrodiagnostic studies are often unreliable for diagnosis.
  • High morbidity rates are associated with both the condition and its surgical treatment.

  • Surgical decompression yields approximately 60-70% good to excellent results.

    • Conclusions:

    • Surgical release of the radial tunnel should be approached with caution.
    • Non-surgical management is a crucial first step for all patients.
    • Strict adherence to preoperative indications is essential before considering surgery.
