What do the results of conservative therapy tell us about the need for surgery: Lack of improvement means surgery is indicated

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter › peer-review

Abstract

Physical therapy forms the backbone of treatment in the long term management of neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome. Physical therapy is, however, not a sole destination therapy unless surgical decompression is contraindicated by some other patient factor, with inability to fully correct the underlying anatomic compression of the brachial plexus.
