A Division I baseball pitcher presented with chronic forearm pain in his throwing arm while pitching. Physical examination was remarkable for point tenderness over the radial tunnel. A postexertion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan revealed edema around the posterior interosseous nerve. The patient underwent decompression of the nerve along with radial tunnel release, which resulted in full resolution of symptoms and return to full baseball activities. Radial tunnel syndrome is a rare phenomenon but can occur in throwing athletes. MRI immediately after a pitching session aided in accurate diagnosis and successful surgical management.
一名一级棒球投手在投球时其投掷手臂出现慢性前臂疼痛。体格检查发现桡管有明显的压痛点。运动后磁共振成像(MRI)扫描显示骨间后神经周围有水肿。该患者接受了神经减压术及桡管松解术,症状完全缓解并恢复了全面的棒球活动。桡管综合征是一种罕见现象,但可发生于从事投掷运动的运动员。投球训练后立即进行的MRI有助于准确诊断和成功的手术治疗。
