Abstract: Radial nerve entrapment at the LIS is an aching pain in the distal, lateral upper arm and leads to weakness in wrist and thumb/index finger extension. Additionally, a positive scratch collapse test and localized pain on pressure at the entrapment site are observed. The described approach uses a minimally invasive percutaneous ultrasound-guided technique under local anesthesia.<br />Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors have no conflicts of interest to disclose.<br /> (Copyright © 2024 SFCM.
