pronator syndrome
This document discusses pronator syndrome (PS), a condition where the median nerve is compressed in the forearm. It describes the anatomy of the median nerve and potential sites of compression, including the pronator teres muscle, lacertus fibrosus, and flexor digitorum superficialis. Common symptoms of PS are pain and paresthesias in the forearm and hand. Physical exam may reveal tenderness over the pronator teres. Conservative treatment includes rest, activity modification, physical therapy, and corticosteroid injections. Surgery is considered if symptoms persist after failed nonsurgical management.
