Traumatic neuroma of the medial antebrachial cutaneous nerve treated by targeted muscle reinnervation using the epitrochleoanconeus muscle

Abstract

Key Clinical Message This case shows the feasibility of targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) in a patient with a traumatic neuroma of the medial antebrachial cutaneous nerve (MABCN). TMR was performed by connecting the proximal stump of the MABCN to the branch innervating the accessory epitrochleoanconeus muscle. Postoperatively, the patient reported significantly less pain.
