Injuries of the forearm with compression of the nerve from swelling is the most common cause: examples include supracondylar fractures, often associated with haemorrhage into the deep musculature; injury secondary to open reduction of a forearm fracture; or dislocation of the elbow.⁠⁠ Direct trauma from a penetrating injury such as a stab wound is a possible cause for the syndrome. Fibrous bands or Arcuate ligament~arcuate (curved) ligaments may entrap the median as well as the<unk><unk>  nerve, in which case a patient may experience hand numbness as well as wrist pain.⁠⁠ Very similar syndromes can be caused by more proximal lesions, such as brachial plexus neuritis.⁠<unk><unk>  nerve entrapment or compression injury remains a difficult clinical diagnosis because it is mainly a motor nerve problem, and the syndrome is often mistaken for index finger and/or thumb tendon injury.⁠
