Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Wartenberg’s Syndrome is described as the entrapment of the superficial branch of the radial nerve with only sensory manifestations and no motor deficits. In this condition, the patient reports pain over the distal radial forearm associated with paresthesia over the dorsal radial hand.

Detailed explanation-2: -The median nerve provides feeling to the thumb, index, and middle finger, and part of the ring finger (but not the little finger). It also controls some small muscles at the base of the thumb.

Detailed explanation-3: -Wartenberg’s Syndrome is caused by entrapment of the superficial branch of the radial nerve at this point, where the nerve arises from beneath the muscles. The nerve is likely to become compressed between the brachioradialis and the ECRL tendons, especially during forearm pronation.
