Abstract
Compression neuropathy of the ulnar nerve at bed rest appears to be quite common. The symptoms are dysesthesia, weakness and later atrophy in the area of distribution of the nerve. Special attention is required for prevention or for early discovery of the condition in time for treatment to bring about prompt recovery. Physical therapy with electrical stimulation may be useful in the more severe cases. When the condition is progressive or recalcitrant, anterior transplantation of the nerve may be necessary.
