Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Neurology
  • Traumatology

Background:

  • Traumatic luxation of the ulnar nerve is an exceptionally infrequent injury.
  • Literature review from 1960-2001 identified only four reported cases.

Observation:

  • Accurate diagnosis relies heavily on a thorough patient history.
  • Sophisticated technical examinations are generally unnecessary.

Findings:

  • Clinical exploration, X-rays, and electrodiagnostic studies (ENG-EMG) are sufficient for diagnosis.
  • The rarity of this condition may lead to underdiagnosis.

Implications:

  • Emphasizes the importance of detailed clinical assessment in diagnosing rare nerve injuries.
  • Highlights the diagnostic utility of basic imaging and electrophysiological tests.
  • Suggests a need for increased awareness among clinicians regarding ulnar nerve luxation.
