Abstract
We report a case of a median to ulnar end-to-side neurorrhaphy with epineurectomy but without fascicular donor nerve section. Surgery was performed for the curative treatment of an elbow synovial sarcoma at the level of the elbow that necessitated resection of 10 cm of the median nerve. The patient was followed up for 24 months. After 4 months, a recovery of protective sensation in the territory of the median nerve was noticed and had stabilized by 1 year.
