Special issue: nerve compression syndromes "Brachioradialis, or "High Wartenberg", syndrome - compression of the sensory branch of the radial nerve in the proximal forearm.
Purpose: Compression of the sensory branch of the radial nerve (SBRN) in the proximal forearm is an uncommon condition, leading to both motor and sensory deficits. The aim of this study is to assess the surgical outcomes of SBRN release at the level of the brachioradialis arcade.
Methods: A retrospective study of prospectively collected data was conducted on patients undergoing brachioradialis release (BRR) from March 2014 to March 2021. The measured outcomes included quick-DASH (Disability of the Arm Shoulder Hand questionnaire), work-DASH, visual analog scale (VAS) scores for pain, and patient satisfaction with surgery, at a minimum six month follow-up.
Results: A total of twenty patients (mean age of 44.1 (range 25-62) were included in this study, of which nine (45%) were males. Eleven patients (55%) underwent isolated BRR, while the other nine patients (45%) underwent concomitant BRR and lacertus release. The three most common presenting symptoms in patients with isolated BRS were radiovolar forearm pain (100%), disturbed sensation in the SBRN territory (85%), and hand/thumb fatigue (75%). Forearm pain and fatigue were found in all patients with combined BRS and lacertus syndrome. The response rate for the functional outcome scores was 65% (13/20). Quick-DASH significantly improved (preoperative 29.6 (range 13.6-57.5) to postoperative 6.9 (range 0-27.27), p < 0.0001) as did the work DASH (p < 0.0001). Follow-up VAS Pain was 1 and satisfaction with surgery 9.6.
Conclusion: BRS is an uncommon radial nerve compression syndrome in the proximal forearm that differs from the more commonly recognized radial tunnel syndrome. It presents with radio-volar forearm pain, disturbed sensation in the SBRN distribution, and loss of hand/thumb endurance. Minimally invasive BRR immediately restores wrist extension strength, significantly improves DASH scores, and yields positive outcomes at a minimum six-month follow-up.
期刊介绍:
International Orthopaedics, the Official Journal of the Société Internationale de Chirurgie Orthopédique et de Traumatologie (SICOT) , publishes original papers from all over the world. The articles deal with clinical orthopaedic surgery or basic research directly connected with orthopaedic surgery. International Orthopaedics will also link all the members of SICOT by means of an insert that will be concerned with SICOT matters.
Finally, it is expected that news and information regarding all aspects of orthopaedic surgery, including meetings, panels, instructional courses, etc. will be brought to the attention of the readers.
Manuscripts submitted for publication must contain a statement to the effect that all human studies have been approved by the appropriate ethics committee and have therefore been performed in accordance with the ethical standards laid down in the 1964 Declaration of Helsinki. It should also be stated clearly in the text that all persons gave their informed consent prior to their inclusion in the study. Details that might disclose the identity of the subjects under study should be omitted.
Reports of animal experiments must state that the "Principles of laboratory animal care" (NIH publication No. 85-23, revised 1985) were followed, as well as specific national laws (e.g. the current version of the German Law on the Protection of Animals) where applicable.
