Wartenberg’s Syndrome: Diagnosis and Treatment

Journal Title: Orthopaedics and Surgical Sports Medicine - Year 2019, Vol 2, Issue 1

Abstract

Wartenberg’s syndrome is a peripheral neuropathy caused by entrapment of the superficial radial nerve (SRN), presenting with paresthesia in the nerve distribution [1]. Currently, there are no established guidelines or recommendations for the proper treatment of this condition. As such, the objective of this paper is to complete a literature review outlining the diagnosis and treatment of Wartenberg’s syndrome.
