Neurolysis is commonly reserved for large proximal nerves such as obturator, tibial and musculocutaneous nerves. We extend its applications to distal nerves, such as median, ulnar and radial nerves with advanced guidance technique. also, we will introduce a new neurolysis technique: cryoneurolysis.

Learning Objectives:

The learners will be able to describe detailed neuroanatomy of these nerves (median, radial, ulnar) and their variations among individuals
The learners will be able to apply phenol neurolysis to treat spasticity in the upper extremity for their patients.
The learners will be able to apply cryoneurolysis to manage spasticity in the upper extremity for their patients
