Primary Microsurgical Repair of Ulnar Nerve Laceration at the wrist

The patient, 75yo RHD M, was cut by a shard of glass, left wrist. Also cut the FCU tendon and ulnar artery. The artery was clamped and tied off by general surgeons in trauma bay.

Amazingly, they did not tie off the nerve.

FCU was repaired after the nerve

Hand was well-perfused, thus artery was left alone.

Patient did fair. Some protective sensation returned by a year, ulnar motor is still very weak. But he is 75 and declined to undergo further procedures.

Ohhh, sqiushy.

Ouch. Nerve damage is no joke. Bottom of my foot is still tingly from sciatic nerve damage that happened couple of years ago. Some calf muscle deteriorated too.
