To describe detailed neuroanatomy of these nerves (median, radial, ulnar) and their variations among individuals and how this knowledge can be applied to phenol neurolysis and cryoneurolysis.

Learning Objectives:

Upon completion, participant will be able to recognize the muscles involved in certain spasticity patterns
Upon completion, participant will be able to use ultrasound imaging to target specific peripheral nerves for neurolysis
Upon completion, participant will be able to identify which patient is a candidate for neurolysis
