Hypothenar Hammer Syndrome with Ulnar Nerve Neuropathy

Ann Vasc Surg. 2020 Nov:69:450.e7-450.e11. doi: 10.1016/j.avsg.2020.05.071. Epub 2020 Jun 5.

Abstract

Hypothenar hammer syndrome is a rare medical condition that is usually associated with repetitive hand trauma. In this article, we delineate the importance of the nerve conduction velocity study to help determine objectively whether neuropathy is significant to the point that surgical means should be considered in absence of obvious ischemic change.
