Abstract
Pan-plexus injuries with persistent pain and flail upper limb present bifocal nuisance to patients and pose serious treatment challenges to orthopaedic surgeons. Limb salvage procedures could be cumbersome, expensive and mostly with poor functional outcomes. The timing and extent of ablation are key predictors to outcome and will depend on the available local expertise and clinical evidence. We present a 42year farmer who walked into the clinic requesting for limb ablation. We also discuss our treatment outcome in light of available literature.
