Abstract:
Guyon's canal syndrome is an uncommon distal ulnar neuropathy caused by compression within the wrist. We report a case of delayed ulnar nerve entrapment secondary to post-traumatic fibrosis, diagnosed nine years after wrist injury and surgery. High-resolution ultrasonography demonstrated focal nerve compression within Guyon's canal adjacent to fibrotic tissue. The patient presented with chronic sensory deficits and hypothenar atrophy. Conservative treatment led to partial symptom control. This case highlights delayed post-surgical fibrosis as a potential cause of Guyon's canal syndrome and underscores the diagnostic value of ultrasound in chronic compressive neuropathies.

In case of deep injuries, trauma to blood vessels results in blood loss. In the meantime, phospholipids released from the ruptured endothelial cellular membrane are converted into arachidonic...

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...
