Introduction:Ulnar nerve injury in closed both bone forearm fracture is rare. Most nerve injuries are neuropraxia and rarely the nerve is trapped or is transected. Most of the time recovery is spontaneous but sometimes requires surgical exploration. We are reporting a case of a 14-year-old boy with closed both bone forearm fracture with ulnar nerve palsy due to entrapment and laceration between ulnar bone fracture fragment. Case Report:A 14-year-old boy presented in emergency department elsewhere with a left forearm closed injury due to fall while playing where he was diagnosed with both bone forearm shaft fracture with ulnar nerve palsy and was given an above elbow slab. After 3 days, the patient presented to our outpatient department (OPD) with completely absent sensation over little finger, ulnar aspect of ring finger, and ulnar clawing. No signs of compartment syndrome in the form of tense swelling or stretch pain were seen. There was a suspected ulnar nerve injury for which patient was admitted and posted for fracture fixation and exploration of the nerve in emergency which showed lacerated ulnar nerve trapped in fracture fragment. Open reduction and internal fixation with ulnar plating and radius titanium elastic nailing was done by orthopedic surgeon while ulnar nerve neurolysis and micro repair was subsequently done by plastic surgeon. There was no neurological recovery immediately post-operatively. Patient was discharged after 48 h and called for regular follow-up in OPD to assess fracture union and neurological recovery. There was gradual neurological recovery over the period of time. Complete motor and sensory recovery took place in 4 months. Conclusion:Ulnar nerve injury associated with close both bone forearm fracture is uncommon. They are usually associated with a contusion for which the treatment is basically conservative. Immediate nerve exploration and fracture fixation should be reserved for suspicious nerve laceration or entrapment within displa
