Leonardelli, Dominic

Case: We present a case of a 33-year-old left hand–dominant/right hand–involved active duty Navy sailor woman with volar radial wrist pain. She underwent scaphoid cyst excision and bone grafting as well as tenotomy. Intraoperatively, she was noted to have a flexor carpi radialis brevis (FCRB) tendon that was transected. After surgery, her 1-year outcomes demonstrated range of motion improved equivalent with her contralateral side, her visual analogue scale (VAS) pain score had decreased to 1, and her QuickDASH and Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation improved. Conclusions: Our case represents 1-year outcome after surgical release of a FCRB. Our patient's pain and functional scores exceeded the minimal clinically important difference.
