K1 Síndrome del tunel radial
AB Purpose Our purpose is to describe the results obtained insurgical treatment of a series of patients with symptoms ofradial tunnel syndrome.Methods We performed a prospective study on 42 patients (43limbs) operated for radial tunnel syndrome between 1996 and2010, using a posterior-external approach.Results Using the Roles and Maudsley criteria, 21 patientshad excellent results (48.8%), 16 good (37.2%) and six fairresults (13.9%). Most patients were satisfied with the surgery,reporting symptom relief and improved functionality.Conclusions Radial tunnel syndrome consists of intermittentcompression of the posterior interosseous nerve in the forearm,with pain and functional disability of the forearm, withoutmotor or sensory electromyogram alterations. Because it isoften confused with enthesitis of the epicondyle muscle insertions(an entity often occurring simultaneously), differentialdiagnosis is necessary with treatment-resistant epicondylitis.The most effective treatment is surgical, releasing all possiblenerve compression sites.
