We report three cases of ulnar nerve deficit in children following closed fractures of the forearm bones. Significant anterior angulation and displacement of the ulna was noted in all patients. Two patients were operated on at a later stage when no evidence of recovery was demonstrated; the ulnar nerve was found to be embedded in dense scar tissue. One patient was operated on at the time of injury; entrapment of the nerve on the anterior spike and partial transection was found. Early exploration is indicated in such cases and may result in full recovery.
