We call it entrapment neuropathies when the nerves that receive sensation in the forearm and hand and provide transmission to the muscles in this area are compressed in certain narrow passages. Here, pain, numbness, and sometimes muscle wasting occur in certain areas, and if a good examination is performed, they can almost always be diagnosed.
Only in cases of hesitation, electrical examination and measurement, which we call enmg, are needed. The three places we see most frequently in the forearm and hand are as follows.
The most common pain and numbness in the forearm and hand is pain and numbness in the inner parts of the forearm and hand, and in delayed cases, we see melting between the fingers. nerve cubital tunnel syndrome) nerve compression is encountered, where the nerve is usually taken from the groove where it is stuck and moved forward to a more comfortable space.
Another ulnar nerve compression is only in the inner part of the wrist, where the numbness is predominant. strong>(ulnar nerve guyon tunnel) nerve compression, where the hardened bridge band compressing the nerve is cut with microdissection
In fact, the most common condition we encounter is numbness and burning in the thumb and especially the index and middle fingers. It is carpal tunnel syndrome, which is rarely seen with melting in the palm of the thumb side.
Pain and numbness that occur when doing too much work during the day also appear at night and patients try to relieve themselves by shaking their hands. Here, too, the compressing bridge band is found and cut by microdissection.
The more accurate the diagnosis in trap neuropathies, the faster the post-operative numbness and pain disappear, but muscle wasting improves very little and long-term physical therapy is required.
