Tennis elbow--a radial tunnel syndrome?
نویسندگان
چکیده
The hypothesis that the chronic tennis-elbow syndrome is caused by an entrapment neuropathy of the radial nerve (Roles and Maudsley 1972) was put to the test prospectively in ten patients. Detailed orthopaedic, neurological and neurophysiological examinations did not reveal any involvement of the radial nerve. It is concluded that this syndrome cannot be explained by an entrapment neuropathy.

Entrapment neuropathies have been known for many years. The larger peripheral nerve entrapment lesions such as that of the ulnar nerve at the elbow (Paget 1864), carpal tunnel syndrome (Learmonth 1933) and more recently tarsal tunnel syndrome (Keck 1962, Lam 1962) and the entrapment of the radial nerve in the persistent “tennis elbow” (Roles and Maudsley 1972) have all been described. Neuropath...
