RESUMO
Objective To study the guiding role of ultrasonography to the operation of spontaneous constriction of radial nerve.Methods Six patients with spontaneous constriction of radial nerve were checked by ultrasound before operation to identify the number,position and morphological change of the constriction lesions of the radial nerve.The result was compared with the operation result.Results According to the ultrasonography results,2 to 3 constriction lesions were found on the radial nerve of all the 6 patients.The ultrasonography description of the number,position and morphological change of the lesions was consistent with the operation result.After the operation,the radial nerve function of all the patients got recovered.Conclusions Ultrasonography examination before operation can identify the number,position and morphological change of the constriction lesions of the radial nerve,which has great value when planning the operation.
