Special issue: nerve compression syndromes “Brachioradialis, or “High Wartenberg”, syndrome – compression of the sensory branch of the radial nerve in the proximal forearm

BRS is an uncommon radial nerve compression syndrome in the proximal forearm that differs from the more commonly recognized radial tunnel syndrome. It presents with radio-volar forearm pain, disturbed sensation in the SBRN distribution, and loss of hand/thumb endurance. Minimally invasive BRR immediately restores wrist extension strength, significantly improves DASH scores, and yields positive outcomes at a minimum six-month follow-up.
