Area of Science:

Hand surgery

Background:

Ulnar nerve decompression is a common procedure for ulnar neuritis.
Immediate post-operative ulnar claw hand is not a widely reported complication.

Observation:

A case report details a patient who developed ulnar claw hand the day after ulnar nerve decompression.
This complication presented unexpectedly following the surgical intervention.

Findings:

The ulnar claw hand, a specific deformity, emerged shortly after the nerve decompression surgery.
Despite initial concerns, the patient experienced improvement in motor power and sensation over a six-month period.

Implications:

This case highlights a potential, albeit rare, complication of ulnar nerve decompression.
