Radial tunnel syndrome: a spectrum of clinical presentations.

A variety of symptoms associated with 15 cases of resistant tennis elbow and resistant radial tunnel pain are described. These included sensations of popping, paresthesias, and paresis. The duration of symptoms averaged 2.3 years before a definitive diagnosis of radial tunnel syndrome was made. Two unique anomalies were contributing factors in the radial nerve entrapment; one case demonstrated a completely tendinous proximal border of the extensor carpi radialis brevis and the other a bifid extensor carpi radialis brevis origin. Excellent pain relief, elimination of popping, and improvement of the paresthesias and paresis was achieved by release of the radial tunnel in cases unresponsive to conservative treatment.

Congenital hypoplastic thumb in the Silver syndrome--a case report and review of upper extremity anomalies in the world literature.

A case of classical Silver syndrome presented with a congenital hypoplastic thumb, absent thenar musculature, and partial index ankylosis. No previous association of congenital hypoplastic thumb and the Silver syndrome has been noted by Dr. Silver or described in the world literature. Restoration of thumb function was achieved in this particular case by the abductor digiti minimi transfer described by Huber. The upper extremity anomalies thus far reported with Silver syndrome in the world literature are summarized.
