Ulnar-Sided Upper Extremity Traumatic Wounds: What Should We Expect to Find?

Upper limb traumatic injuries have a significant impact on social and professional life; however, there is still a paucity of studies focusing on the injuries of the ulnar border of the forearm, wrist and hand. We designed a retrospective single-blinded study, including all patients with deep traumatic wounds affecting the ulnar side of the forearm, wrist or hand, that received surgical treatment from 2006 until 2016. A characterisation of the sample, assessment of concomitant injuries and clinical outcomes, as well as neurological and functional evaluation were performed.
