摘要
The dorso-radial aspect of the wrist and hand is a common location for intravenous (IV) cannulation prior to anesthesia. The sensory branch of the radial nerve lies superficially in this area, and it can be injured during routine insertion of IV catheters. In this case, the nerve was lacerated during insertion and a painful neuroma developed after elective surgery and anesthesia. Knowledge of this complication may help with its recognition and treatment.
