28 maj 2016 · Trauma, surgery, and ankle inversion injuries are known to cause stretch injuries to many of the nerves of the lower extremity. Hormonal changes, preexisting polyneuropathy, and systemic diseases such as diabetes mellitus and rheumatoid arthritis can also predispose to nerve entrapment.
Nerve compression syndromes can result from pressure on a peripheral nerve. Carpal tunnel syndrome is the most common type. Other types include sciatica and ulnar nerve entrapment. Repetitive movements can lead to a pinched nerve and neuropathy. You may have limb weakness, numbness, pain or tingling. At-home treatments provide symptom relief.
Nerve entrapment syndromes can result from a chronic injury to a nerve as it travels through an osseoligamentous tunnel; the compression is typically between the ligamentous canal and adjacent bony surfaces. In cases of nerve entrapment, at least one portion of the compressive surface is mobile.
Featured as a single volume, this is a comprehensive guide to possible nerve entrapment syndromes and their management. Each chapter covers a single nerve, or group of closely related nerves, and goes over the clinical presentation, anatomy, physical exam, differential diagnosis, contributing factors, injection techniques, neurolytic/surgical ...
The nerves in the arms and legs can recover from damage over time, so most of the time, people with entrapment neuropathy can experience a full recovery. The first line of treatment is to stop the mechanical injury to prevent further damage.
Neurotmesis will only recover with surgical reconnection of severed neural elements. In the cases where axonal degeneration occurs, prognosis is critically dependent on the distance from the site of injury and the nerve targets (skin or muscle).
