Abstract
The differential diagnosis of symptoms such as numbness, paresthesias, pain, or weakness in the hand must include entrapment neuropathies which can occur about the elbow region. Several potential entrapment sites have been described for the major peripheral nerves during their course down the upper arm and into the proximal forearm. With a well-directed history, physical and electrodiagnostic examination the localization of a specific entrapment site is possible.
