We present a case series that highlights the clinical manifestation of ulnar nerve entrapment and compression in three patients with initially misdiagnosed and mismanaged elbow tendinopathy. After a correct diagnosis of ulnar nerve pathology was made, each patient underwent a prescribed rehabilitation protocol that focused on nerve motility exercises (tensioning and flossing), resulting in a significant reduction in pain and a successful return to their pre-injury climbing performance. We thus aim to raise awareness of this often-mistreated presentation.

Meanwhile, our limited knowledge and understanding make treatment decisions complex. The list of differential diagnoses for exertional leg pain is broad. Oftentimes, patients exhibit confounding and coexisting diagnoses. However, accurate and rapid diagnosis of popliteal artery entrapment syndrome is essential to reduce potential lasting damage to the popliteal artery. A combination of clinical history, physical examination, ankle-brachial index, along with dynamic and static imaging such as duplex ultrasound, computed tomography angiogram, and magnetic resonance angiography, aids diagnosis. Surgical treatment may be definitive depending on the type of popliteal artery entrapment syndrome, but there have been recent advances in diagnostics with intravascular ultrasound and nonsurgical treatment with botulinum toxin type A.

The thoracic outlet is a specific anatomical region with three distinct anatomical spaces - interscalene triangle, the costoclavicular space, and the retro-pectoralis minor space. Thoracic outlet syndrome is classified into neurogenic, venous, and arterial thoracic outlet syndrome and often poses diagnostic challenge to implicate a specific condition or cause. Many cases of thoracic outlet syndrome can be effectively managed through conservative measures, but patients with refractory symptoms may warrant surgical intervention. Modalities such as intramuscular anesthetic and botulinum toxin injections hold promise as diagnostic, therapeutic, and prognostic procedures. Further research and collaboration are needed to develop algorithms for diagnosis and treatment of thoracic outlet syndrome symptoms.
