Compressive radial mononeuropathy is a compressive neuropathy of the radial nerve from prolonged, direct pressure onto the upper medial arm or axilla by an object or surface. The radial nerve comprises the C5 to T1 nerve roots, which arise from the posterior segment of the brachial nerve plexus. It initially runs deep to the axillary artery before passing inferior to the teres minor and then wrapping down the medial aspect of the humerus, which lies in the spiral groove. Compression of the radial nerve leads to nerve palsy, causing motor and sensory deficits. This activity covers the etiology, anatomical definition, and clinical presentation of compressive radial mononeuropathy and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in diagnosing and treating patients with this condition.
