Abstract
Abstract: This case report describes a 44-year-old woman who suffered a radial nerve compression injury from self-administered myofascial release using a lacrosse ball. She underwent decompression of the right radial nerve at the spiral groove of the humerus with intraoperative nerve stimulation. At 18-month follow-up, the patient had regained partial function of the radial nerve. This case highlights mechanisms of radial nerve compression injuries and discusses nonoperative versus operative treatment options.
