Abstract
Since the original monograph by Kopell and Thompson (17) clinical aspects of entrapment neuropathies have been the subject of a number of review articles (1, 6, 13, 22, 23, 30, 31). The present paper will concentrate on certain current problems which could usefully become the focus of further research in the future.
