Nerve Entrapment Causing Mononeuropathy in a Patient with Diabetes

Patients with diabetes face a substantially elevated risk of focal nerve compression. Mononeuropathies arising from nerve entrapment — involving nerves such as the median, ulnar, radial, or common peroneal — occur more commonly in this population than in those without diabetes.

When a mononeuropathy in a diabetic patient is attributable to nerve entrapment, the approach may include a surgical intervention directed at the site of compression.
