Published: July 2024

Case: A 46-year-old man presented with continued pain after distal biceps repair. On revision surgery, he was found to have entrapment of the lateral antebrachial cutaneous nerve (LABCN). After nerve transection, relocation to its native course, and subsequent repair, the patient experienced complete resolution of his preoperative symptomatology.

Conclusion: To the author's knowledge, the current study is the first to describe symptomatic entrapment of the LABCN after distal biceps repair with a satisfying outcome after nerve transection, relocation, and repair.
