Abstract
- Tardy ulnar nerve palsy might develop secondary to nonunion, malunion, or elbow deformity after medial epicondylar fracture of the humerus. We report a case of tardy ulnar nerve palsy following medial epicondylar fracture, treated with excision of bony fragment, neurolysis and relocation of the ulnar nerve.
