Abstract
Compression syndromes of the upper extremities represent a heterogeneous group of peripheral neuropathies characterized by mechanical compression of nerve structures within confined anatomical spaces. These conditions have emerged as a predominant cause of occupational morbidity, constituting approximately 35-45% of all work-related peripheral nerve disorders in industrialized nations (Burton et al., 2016). The anatomical predisposition of certain nerve segments to compression, combined with repetitive mechanical stress and occupational demands, creates a perfect storm for the development of these debilitating conditions.
