Abstract
We report two cases of Hunter's canal syndrome. Case 1: A 68-year-old female who had left medial thigh and knee pain without swelling, local heat and effusion. Roentgenogram showed post-TKA and no evidence of infection and loosening. Case 2: A 61-year-old male who had sufered from left medial thigh and knee pain for 10 years. Roentgenogram looked nomal. Both cases had tenderness of the lower antero-medial thigh over Hunter's Canal without sensory disturbance. Several blocks of the saphenous nerve at the point of tenderness were performed. Both patients expressed complete refief of their symptoms for the duration of the block although neither obtained lasting relief. In both cases, neurolysis was performed with pain relief.
