Unobtainable radial nerve F-waves in a case of radial nerve conduction block

Electromyogr Clin Neurophysiol. 2004 Dec;44(8):451-4.

Abstract

We present here the first known case of an unobtainable radial nerve F-wave in a case of radial nerve conduction block. This case further demonstrates that F-waves are used not only to rule out neuropathy or radiculopathy, but also to detect conduction block.
