Core Tip

Core Tip: Posterior interosseous nerve (PIN) entrapment syndrome, a cause of weakness and pain of the arm muscles, can be easily missed and misdiagnosed. This paper reports a case of PIN entrapment syndrome in which the PIN entrapment was located at the supinator muscle, according to the diagnosis by ultrasound. The entrapment point was treated with ultrasound-guided nerve hydrodissection, which had good efficacy, making this an option for the treatment of PIN entrapment syndrome.
