AbstractWe report an unusual anatomical variant of the palmar cutaneous branch (PCB) of the median nerve in a 46-year-old man presenting with recurrent carpal tunnel syndrome. At surgery, after neurolysis, the PCB was visualized arising at the level of the proximal margin of the transverse carpal ligament, mimicking the appearance of the recurrent motor branch. To date, there has been no description of this branch arising at this level. We aim to remind surgeons of this variation and highlight the importance of maintaining vigilance to avoid iatrogenic nerve injury.

Henry Approach

Purpose: During volar plate fixation of distal radius fractures, we have encountered patients with an anomalous course of the palmar cutaneous branch (PCB) of the median nerve within the sheath of the flexor carpi radialis (FCR) tendon. The purpose of this study was to assess the frequency and location of variations of the PCB within the sheath of the FCR tendon.Methods: This retrospective study enrolled 83 patients who underwent volar locking plate fixations through a modified Henry approach for distal radius fractures from July 2018 to April 2020. When we encountered an anomalous PCB within the sheath of the FCR tendon, we documented the specific finding and location where the PCB entered the sheath of the FCR tendon.Results: There were nine patients (10.8%) who had an anomalous course of PCB penetrating the sheath of the FCR tendon. The average entering point of PCB into the sheath of the FCR tendon was 3.07 cm from the distal wrist crease (range, 2.5–3.6 cm).Conclusion: An anomalous course of the PCB entering the sheath of the FCR tendon was observed at a high frequency (10.8%). Care must be taken not to injure the PCB during a dissecting of the FCR sheath during a modified Henry approach for a distal radius fracture.

The anatomical course of the palmar cutaneous nerve was studied in ten cadavers and classified into six zones or sites. The literature on entrapment neuropathy of the palmar cutaneous nerve was then reviewed and the cases were classified according to the anatomical site of compression.
