Description

Common upper extremity nerve compression syndromes, such as carpal and cubital tunnel syndromes, are frequently addressed by orthopaedic surgeons but even seasoned experts may misdiagnose or overlook less prevalent neuropathies. We invite you to join us for an in-depth session that examines these often-neglected nerve palsies and compression neuropathies. This presentation will cover their clinical manifestations, diagnostic challenges, and effective management strategies to provide the audience with valuable insights into a critical area of practice.

Learning Objectives

•    Clinically identify uncommon upper extremity nerve compressions with accuracy.

•    Differentiate between various upper extremity nerve compressions and their distinct presentations.

•    Recognize when advanced imaging or nerve conduction studies are necessary for accurate diagnosis.

•    Develop comprehensive treatment plans tailored to the management of uncommon upper extremity nerve compressions.
