In a ten-year experience with radial tunnel syndrome surgery, 34 of 42 patients had follow-up examination of more than six months (average, 24 months). Although 74% of the patients were improved after surgery, about one-third had some persistent pain and functional restriction. Static electromyographic analysis was not diagnostically helpful. However, diagnostic radial tunnel block was prognostically helpful. Patients selection was important in predicting surgical outcome. In worker's compensation cases, symptoms would often persist. Some patients also appeared to have symptoms referable to compression of the posterior interosseous nerve and tendinitis of the extensor origin, and others had additional ipsilateral compressive neuropathies.
在长达十年的桡管综合征手术经验中，42例患者中有34例接受了超过6个月的随访检查（平均24个月）。虽然74%的患者术后有所改善，但约三分之一的患者仍有一些持续性疼痛和功能受限。静态肌电图分析在诊断上并无帮助。然而，诊断性桡管阻滞在预后方面有帮助。患者选择对于预测手术结果很重要。在工伤赔偿案件中，症状往往会持续存在。一些患者似乎还出现了与骨间后神经受压和伸肌起点处肌腱炎相关的症状，还有一些患者存在同侧其他压迫性神经病变。
