In this case, a 47-year-old commercial truck driver with a remote right
transradial amputation presented with pain in the medial aspect of his right
phantom hand. He was diagnosed with thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS). This was
attributed to the muscular demands associated with using his body-powered
prosthesis for many years.
TOS remains a controversial diagnosis in the
able-bodied population and a unique diagnostic challenge in a patient with a
transradial amputation. In this case, consideration of TOS guided the
rehabilitation and treatment plan. His pain improved with a conservative
stretching program.
