- Abstract
Patients and physicians have increasingly sought minimally invasive procedures such as ultrasound‐guided injection for the treatment of peripheral nerve entrapment syndromes. In this series, we assessed subjective outcome data in 14 patients who underwent ultrasound‐guided perineural hydrodissection and steroid injection for pronator syndrome secondary to median nerve entrapment in the pronator tunnel. Excellent symptomatic relief (≥75% improvement) was achieved in 70% of nerves with 3‐month follow‐up data, with no significant change in symptoms between 3 and 6 months. These outcomes suggest that this technique could play a role in the management of pronator syndrome due to median nerve entrapment.
