Ulnar nerve entrapment complicating radial head excision.

Introduction: Several mechanisms are involved in ischemia or mechanical compression of ulnar nerve at the elbow.

Presentation Of Case: We hereby present the case of a road accident victim, who received a radial head excision for an isolated fracture of the radial head and complicated by onset of cubital tunnel syndrome. This outcome could be the consequence of an iatrogenic valgus of the elbow due to excision of the radial head.
