We describe an accidental injury to the ulnar nerve at the elbow following steroid injection for medial epicondylitis in a patient with undetected recurrent dislocation of the nerve. The chalky substance found on exploration to intermingle with the nerve fascicles was removed and the nerve was placed under the flexor-pronator mass. After surgery, complete resolution of the epicondylar pain was noted, along with significant improvement in two-point discrimination of the ulnar digits. We recommend clinical assessment of the ulnar nerve location prior to injection to avoid injury. Should recurrent dislocation of the nerve be diagnosed, injection should be given cautiously, preferably with the elbow in an extended or semiflexed position.

Background: Trigger wrist is a rare disease with few reported cases in the literature. This condition presents with painful sensation and a clicking sound during finger or wrist movements. Case Report: In this report, we present a 32-year-old man suffering from trigger wrist along with carpal tunnel syndrome caused by muscle belly hypertrophy and extension to the carpal tunnel. The diagnostic approach and surgical techniques are explained. Conclusion: In cases of trigger wrist associated with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), there may be an underlying cause covering both the trigger wrist and CTS at the volar side of the wrist. Therefore, a precise clinical examination is recommended to avoid unnecessary surgery, releasing of A1 pulley, or steroid injection.
