Abstract. Compressive neuropathies of the radial nerve are less common than those of the median and ulnar nerves. The annual incidence of all radial nerve entrapments combined is approximately 0.003 % [1]. Compressive neuropathies of the median and ulnar nerves occur 100 times and 10 times more frequently, respectively [2, 3].
