Cubital tunnel syndrome can be brought on by compressing or irritating the ulnar nerve, which runs down the inside of your elbow. This could cause your hand and fingers…
Radial tunnel syndrome is a compressive neuropathy affecting the posterior interosseus nerve (PIN) within the radial tunnel. Many of the motor activities in your arm, such as forearm rotation and wrist and finger straightening, are governed by the radial nerve. These comparatively easy actions can become unpleasant and challenging due to radial tunnel syndrome, which…
What is a Posterior Interosseous Nerve Syndrome? Posterior interosseous nerve syndrome, also known as PIN syndrome, is a neurological condition characterized by compression or injury to the posterior interosseous nerve (a branch of the radial nerve) as it travels through the forearm. This compression can lead to various symptoms including weakness or paralysis of the…
