=====Epicondylitis humeri radialis=====
The pain associated with refractory epicondylitis humeri radialis can be eliminated not only by denervation, i.e. palliatively, but also by decompression of the [[radial nerve]] in certain cases. Wilhelm assume that the latter procedure eliminates an important cause of irritation, particularily by resection of the tendineous origin of the proximal caput of [[triceps]] [[muscle]]. In this respect Wilhelm consider the inferior cervical syndrome, present in all cases, to be the primary pathogenetic factor in accordance with REISCHAUER
