Ulnar neuropathy at wrist associated with a stab wound from iron fenced wall: A case report and review of electrodiagnostic methods to localize the lesion

Abstract

Diagnosis of ulnar neuropathy at wrist remains challenging domain for neurophysicians as the clinical picture resembles proximal ulnar neuropathies. Inching across wrist and conduction to first dorsal interosseous remains mainstay of electrodiagnostic (EDX) procedures for distal ulnar neuropathy. Here, we present a case of distal ulnar neuropathy with review of its EDX procedures.
