Abstract

The authors present a series of 44 cases of sensory disorders in the radial nerve territory. Eighteen cases of pure painful neuromata gave, excellent results according to Herndon criteria in 11 cases with various techniques. Wartenberg neuritis (22 cases) was found to respond favorably to conservative treatment in the majority of cases (19 cases). A legal problem can arise from association with De Quervain disease if the condition has not been recognized before surgical release of the first compartment. Finally 9 cases are presented with intricate pathology of neuroma plus neuritis. Treatment addressing both conditions provided good results.
