Background: Given the appreciable prevalence of gout, gout-induced tendon ruptures in the upper extremity are extremely rare. Although these events have been reported only 5 times in the literature, all in patients with a risk factor for or history of gout, they have conspicuously never been diagnosed in the shoulder or elbow. Methods: A 45-year-old, right-hand-dominant man with a history of gout presented with pain in his right anterior elbow and weakness in his forearm after a trivial injury. Results: Here, we report the first case of gouty tenosynovitis of the distal biceps tendon insertion complicated by partial rupture, a composite diagnosis supported by both intraoperative and histological observations. Conclusions: In patients who are clinically diagnosed with biceps tendon rupture and have a history of gout, it is important to consider the possibility of a gout-related pathological manifestation causing or simulating tendon rupture.

Background: A rare and disastrous complication of harvesting a tendon graft is the misidentification of the median nerve for the palmaris longus. Methods: The authors report a referred case in which the median nerve was harvested as a free tendon graft. Results: Few reports of this complication are found in the literature despite the frequency of palmaris longus tendon grafting and the proximity of the palmaris tendon to the median nerve. Given the obvious medicolegal implications, the true incidence of this complication is difficult to assess. Discussion: Safe harvesting of the palmaris longus mandates a thorough understanding of the relevant anatomy, in particular the proper differentiation between nerve and tendon and recognition of when the palmaris longus tendon is absent. Techniques to facilitate proper identification of the palmaris longus are outlined.
