ABSTRACT
To perform effective nerve hydrodissection on the upper extremities, it is essential to first select the target site through subjective and objective examinations based on basic anatomical knowledge of the nerve pathways and sites prone to entrapment. In ultrasound scanning, if the proximal diameter of the nerve increases compared to the distal one or the cross-sectional area of the nerve fascicle within the main nerve increases, it may be confirmed as a lesion site. If necessary, symptoms can be induced directly through stimulation using a nerve stimulator under ultrasound guidance for selection. When approaching the nearby nerve that triggers symptoms, it is important to confirm sufficient separation of surrounding structures that compress and irritate the main nerve through pressure after positioning the needle bevel with a tangential approach to target nerve.
