Nerves are longitudinal structures with long excursion between the neck and hand. Any restriction of this amplitude by inflammation, adhesion, or compression can produce dysfunction.

Indications
Surgical decompression stops further nerve injury and allows recovery to start.
Complications
Specific nerve related.
Recovery
Nerves recover slowly and the outcome may take months to appear.
