Ulnar nerve reconstruction with a basilic vein tributary graft: a practical and easily replicable technique with favourable outcomes

Ulnar nerve reconstruction with a basilic vein tributary graft: a practical and easily replicable technique with favourable outcomes

A young gentleman presented with a closed fracture of the left radius and an open fracture of the left ulna complicated with segmental loss of the ulnar nerve measuring 1.5cm. After thorough debridement and stabilization of the bone injuries, the ulnar nerve gap was bridged with an autologous venous...
