Lacertus syndrome: a ten year analysis of two hundred and seventy five minimally invasive surgical decompressions of median nerve entrapment at the elbow

Abstract

LS is a common median nerve compression syndrome typically presenting with loss of hand strength and hand endurance/fatigue. Minimally invasive LR immediately restores hand strength, significantly improves DASH scores, and yields positive outcomes regarding VAS pain, numbness, and subjective satisfaction with surgery in patients with proximal median nerve entrapment at a minimum six month follow-up.
