Kwon, Ahn, Kim, Sung, and Cho: Fracture of the Distal Radius with Ulnar Nerve Palsy

Abstract

There are several complications of distal radiug fracture such as median nerve injury, malunion nonunion, rupture of EPL, and ischemic contracture. Lesion of ulnar nerve as a complication of fracture of the distal radius are very rare. The authors report 1 case of the distal radius fracture with ulnar nerve palsy. The electromyography & nerve-conduction studies showed incomplete axonotmesis of ulnar nerve on 1 month following injury. A second electromyography & nerve-conduction study two months after injury showed complete recovery of nerve function.
