Abstract
Ultrasonography is a very simple and precise method for imaging of the whole range of peripheral nerves. Determining the site of the lesion, depiction of structural changes of the nerve and detection of possible additional findings in the surrounding soft tissues might be beneficial for further management of the patient.
Besides imaging ultrasounds can help in navigation of diagnostic and therapeutic interventional methods in real time. In our case study we want to present a lesion of radial nerve in young male which occurred as a result of cast for upper extremity injury.
The morphology and exact localization of the nerve lesion was only visible by ultrasound. We also present an example of interventional procedure that we performed in this patient and which had good therapeutic effect.
