Review Case ReportsSubcutaneous rupture of the superficial branch of the radial nerve at the wrist. A case report and review of literature.
Isolated neuropathy of the superficial branch of the radial nerve (SBRN) is a rarely recognized pathology. It was initially described by Wartenberg in 1932. Various causes have been published. ⋯ No distal nerve stump was found. Neuroma resection was performed and the nerve was transposed and embedded into the flexor pollicis longus muscle. With a six months follow-up, the result was satisfactory.
