Diagnosis involves a combination of clinical assessment and diagnostic tests:
Physical Examination: Thorough examination to check for signs of sensory loss, motor deficits, and circulatory issues. Imaging Studies: X-rays, MRI, or CT scans to visualize fractures, dislocations, or other structural abnormalities. Vascular Studies: Doppler ultrasound to assess blood flow. Electrophysiological Tests: Nerve conduction studies and electromyography to evaluate nerve function. Laboratory Tests: Blood tests to check for infection or inflammatory markers.
