Bilateral ulnar neuropathy secondary to volar displacement of flexor tendons following open carpal tunnel release: case report
J Hand Surg Am.

Abstract
We report a case of bilateral ulnar neuropathy after bilateral open carpal tunnel release. Displacement of the flexor tendons anterior to the hook of hamate caused impingement on the ulnar nerve. Symptoms resolved after hook of hamate resection.
