title: [Wartenberg syndrome: a rare or rarely diagnosed compression syndrome of the radial nerve?].
abstract: Between August 1993 and June 1995, nine female and one male patient with a neuropathy of the superficial branch of the radial nerve (Wartenberg's syndrome) were treated operatively. Hoffmann-Tinel's sign was positive preoperatively as well as Dellon's test. A modified technique involving longitudinal plication of the brachioradialis tendon was used in seven cases. All patients were free of symptoms six weeks after operation.
