Nerve entrapment around the elbow arises from compression of a peripheral nerve along its anatomical course within narrow anatomical spaces. The principal nerves traversing the elbow region are the ulnar, median, and radial nerves and their branches. Congenital variations, repetitive or strenuous physical activities, post-traumatic changes, and iatrogenic anatomical alterations may contribute to nerve entrapment at this level. The diagnosis is primarily based on a detailed history and meticulous physical examination. Patients typically report activity-related pain, paresthesia, numbness, or weakness. The distribution of symptoms varies according to the anatomical innervation territory of the affected nerve and is helpful in the differential diagnosis. Physical examination should include careful sensory assessment, evaluation of muscle strength, detection of muscle atrophy, and performance of provocative tests. Electrodiagnostic studies assist in localizing the site of compression and determining its severity. High-resolution ultrasonography can be used to assess nerve enlargement and allows dynamic evaluation, whereas magnetic resonance imaging is particularly useful for identifying space-occupying lesions, signs of muscle denervation, and associated joint pathologies. Initial management should consist of conservative treatment modalities. Surgical decompression should be considered in cases refractory to nonoperative measures.
