Abstract

Case: We discuss a patient with a 6-month history of episodic elbow and forearm pain 6 years after supracondylar humeral fracture fixed with Steinmann pins at the age of 10 years and 5-year follow-up data at the age of 21 years. Electrodiagnostic studies exhibited no response from the lateral antebrachial cutaneous (LABC) nerve, and anesthetic injection demonstrated relief. Surgical intervention provided immediate relief of symptoms without recurrence for 5 years postsurgery.

Conclusion: Atypical LABC neuromas can be found after operative fixation of supracondylar humerus fractures. Neuroma excision and intramuscular burying of affected nerve ends remains a viable treatment option for patients with late-presenting traumatic neuromas.

期刊介绍： JBJS Case Connector helps improve patient care by providing the medical community with a journal that harnesses technology to provide information tools for discovery and reporting of unusual musculoskeletal problems, findings, treatment, and outcomes. Co-edited by Thomas W. Bauer, MD, PhD, and Ronald W. Lindsey, MD, JBJS Case Connector assists orthopaedic surgeons in the search for precedents, connections, and trends in their efforts to improve patient care. Using this unique journal, surgeons can find the commonalities between cases, benefit from the experience of their peers, and filter case information by many important variables in order to provide the best possible care for orthopaedic patients. This cross-referenced online journal includes thousands of orthopaedic case reports. It compiles symptoms, conditions, and demographic details to empower surgeons to find cases similar to theirs. Surgeons can mine the database to reveal emerging trends and identify patterns, distinguishing between truly rare cases and repeated, related single instances of a larger problem. The JBJS Case Connector Image Quiz feature provides interactive quizzes based on images from content published by JBJS and includes a discussion area for further exploration of ideas and concepts. The JBJS Image Quiz app for iPad and iPhone is available in the App Store. Contributions to JBJS Case Connector are welcomed from anywhere in the world and are considered on their merits. Articles must be written in English and should be submitted as outlined in the Instructions to Authors.
