Radial tunnel syndrome. The supinator. (Deep branch of radial nerve labeled at upper right and lower right. Dorsal interosseous is this nerve after passing the supinator, at lower right.) Radial tunnel syndrome (RTS) is a compression neuropathy of the radial nerve as it travels from the upper arm (the brachial plexus) to the hand and wrist.
Brachioradial pruritus (sometimes abbreviated BRP) is an intense itching sensation of the arm usually between the wrist and elbow of either or both arms. [1]: 36 The itch can be so intense that affected individuals will scratch their own skin to a bleeding condition. The condition is becoming increasingly common, presenting in patients who are ...
Radial neuropathy. The suprascapular, axillary, and radial nerves. Radial neuropathy is a type of mononeuropathy which results from acute trauma to the radial nerve that extends the length of the arm. [3] It is known as transient paresthesia when sensation is temporarily abnormal. [4]
Epicondylitis is the inflammation of an epicondyle or of adjacent tissues. [1] Epicondyles are on the medial and lateral aspects of the elbow, consisting of the two bony prominences at the distal end of the humerus. These bony projections serve as the attachment point for the forearm musculature. [2] Inflammation to the tendons and muscles at ...
The anterior interosseous nerve is a branch of the median nerve, with a large sensory branch to the wrist bones, which arises just below the elbow. It passes distally, anteriorly along the interosseous membrane and innervates flexor pollicis longus, flexor digitorum profundus to index and middle finger as well as pronator quadratus, and supplies sensory feedback from the wrist bones, i.e. the ...
Ulnar neuropathy is a disorder involving the ulnar nerve. Ulnar neuropathy may be caused by entrapment of the ulnar nerve with resultant numbness and tingling. [3] It may also cause weakness or paralysis of the muscles supplied by the nerve. Ulnar neuropathy may affect the elbow as cubital tunnel syndrome. At the wrist a similar neuropathy is ...
Median nerve palsy. Diagram from Gray's anatomy, depicting the nerves of the upper extremity, amongst others the median nerve. Injuries to the arm, forearm or wrist area can lead to various nerve disorders. One such disorder is median nerve palsy. The median nerve controls the majority of the muscles in the forearm.
Emergency medicine. A brachial plexus injury (BPI), also known as brachial plexus lesion, is an injury to the brachial plexus, the network of nerves that conducts signals from the spinal cord to the shoulder, arm and hand. These nerves originate in the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth cervical (C5–C8), and first thoracic (T1) spinal nerves ...
