Peripheral nerve entrapment, occupation-related syndromes, and sports injuries.
The use of magnetic resonance imaging to detect nerve entrapment disorders is described in this review as well as more basic clinical tests for the carpal tunnel syndrome. Overuse syndrome remains controversial. Symptoms may arise from overuse outside the workplace; prospective electrodiagnostic study of median nerve latency shows no difference between persons doing repetitive hand tasks and those applying for these jobs. Conditioning for young and old sports participants is reviewed as well as the injuries they suffer. Magnetic resonance imaging of asymptomatic knees reveals meniscus lesions more often than not.
