Published: August 2024

A 31-year-old woman had a seizure episode three weeks before, leading to a fall on her left hand. Following the accident, she had discomfort on the ulnar side of her left wrist. She decided to seek treatment from a local bone setter; however, her hand discomfort continued and she then came to us for treatment.
