Compressive and Entrapment Neuropathies of the Upper Extremity

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Neuromuscular Disorders in Clinical Practice

Abstract

Entrapment neuropathies of the upper extremities, particularly the carpal tunnel syndrome and cubital tunnel syndrome, are commonly seen in clinical practice. This chapter discusses the clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and treatment of all entrapment and compressive neuropathies of the upper extremity.
