Acute radial neuropathy at the spiral groove following massage: A case report

Massage related nerve injury is an uncommon, rarely reported complication. We report an unusual case of radial nerve neuropathy at the spiral groove in a 58 years old woman resulting from a single episode of deep tissue massage. Although the spiral groove is known as the most common site implicated in radial nerve neuropathy, to our knowledge, there have not previously been any reports of massage related spiral groove radial nerve neuropathy.Electrodiagnostic and ultrasound examinations were used to localize the nerve lesion at the spiral groove on the affected side.
