Median Nerve Compression by Radial Head Osteophyte

Adam D Glener et al. J Hand Surg Am. 2016 Dec.

Abstract

Congenital radial head dislocations are rare, and presentation with late complications is even less common. We present a case of a patient who presented with symptoms and findings of proximal median nerve compression secondary to large osteophytes associated with untreated congenital radial head dislocations.

Keywords: Compression; median nerve; neuropathy; osteophyte.
