Ultrasound unveils deep radial nerve entrapment due to elbow capsule distension in a case with rheumatoid arthritis
Original language description
A 66-year-old male with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) for more than 10 years was seen for right lateral elbow pain and weakness in finger extensions of the right hand for the past three months and was referred for ultrasound (US) examination. The extensor tendons were normal but massive effusion was present in the radial and coronoid fossae. When adjusting the transducer along the volar lateral elbow joint, it became evident that the deep branch of the radial nerve was distorted due to the distended joint capsule, with a remarkable enlargement of the nerve's proximal segment. Additionally, pivoting the transducer parallel to the supinator muscle, the finger and wrist extensor muscles over the painful elbow appeared thinner and hyperechoic as compared to those on the asymptomatic side . Entrapment of the deep branch of the radial nerve with subsequent muscle atrophy was diagnosed.
