Abstract:
Symptoms caused by compression neuropathies are subjective and often difficult to quantify. The author describes sites of compression involving the median, ulnar, and radial nerves and their branches, and emphasizes that surgical procedures should be performed only when objective evidence of an abnormality is present and the chance for surgical correction is high.
