摘 要:BACKGROUND Ulnar nerve injury subsequent to a fracture of the distal radius is extremely rare compared to median nerve *** of ulnar nerve injury after closed distal radial fracture is *** surgical planning and careful postoperative management can improve the prognosis of *** SUMMARY We report two cases of ulnar nerve injury subsequent to fracture of the distal *** patients were admitted to *** patients had persistent ulnar nerve compression *** first patient achieved rapid recovery by early nerve decompression surgery,while the second patient had no recovery at 2-3 mo after injury and had more severe *** 10 wk after injury,the second patient agreed to nerve decompression *** second patient finally achieved a successful outcome after nerve decompression and neurolysis,although she still has residual *** For patients with ulnar nerve compression syndrome related to acute wrist fracture,if symptoms persist and signs of recovery are not observed,early release is necessary to prevent permanent neurological damage.
