  • Title: Lateral antebrachial cutaneous neuropathy following the long head of the biceps rupture.
    Author: Brogan DM, Bishop AT, Spinner RJ, Shin AY.
    Journal: J Hand Surg Am; 2012 Apr; 37(4):673-6. PubMed ID: 22386558.
    Abstract:
    Lateral antebrachial cutaneous neuropathies present as purely sensory lesions, manifesting as elbow pain or dysesthetic pain over the lateral forearm. Classically, entrapment of the lateral antebrachial cutaneous nerve has been documented at the lateral edge of the biceps tendon as it exits the deep fascia in the antecubital fossa. We report a case of lateral antebrachial cutaneous nerve traction neuritis, rather than entrapment, resulting from a rupture of the long head of the biceps. The biceps displaced the nerve laterally, resulting in sensory loss and severe allodynia. The patient's symptoms were relieved with proximal biceps tenodesis.
