I AM AN ENT SURGEON,RT HANDED MALE OF 40 YRS.ON 2ND JUNE,2011 I SUFFERED FROM RT REVERSE COLLE'S FRACTURE,INTRAARTICULAR WITH DISPLACEMENT.CLOSED REDUCTION WAS DONE ON THAT DAY MY ORTHOPAEDIC COLLEAGUE WITHIN AN HOUR.LATER I STARTED TO SUFFER FROM COMPARTMENT SYNDROME.PLASTER WAS CUT AT PLACES ON 6TH JUNE.REPLASTERING DONE ON 13TH JUNE WHEN OEDEMA SUBSIDED.CHECK X-RAY WAS DONE.AT THAT TIME,IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT ULNAR NEUROPRAXIA DEVELOPED.NOW I AM CONTINUING GENTLE FINGER MOVEMENT EXERCISES ALL THE TIME.ELBOW AND SHOULDER JT MOVEMENTS ALSO BEING PRACTISED BY ME.POP CAST WILL BE REMOVED ON 15TH JULY.ULNAR NEUROPRAXIA IMPROVED BUT STILL PERSISTS.
