State Of The ArtThe proximal radial nerve compression syndrome includes supinator syndrome and proximal radial nerve constrictions. This article presents a new endoscopic assisted radial nerve decompression surgical technique described for the first time by Leclère et al. in 2013.Surgical TechniqueEndoscopic scissor decompression of the proximal radial nerve is always performed under plexus anaesthesia. It includes 8 key steps documented in this article. We review the indications and limitations of the surgical technique.ConclusionEarly clinical results after endoscopic assisted decompression of the radial nerve appear excellent. However, they still need to be compared with conventional techniques. Clinical studies are likely to widely develop because of the mini-invasive nature of this new surgical technique.Copyright © 2015. Published by Elsevier Masson SAS.
