ABSTRACT
13 patients with malunion of the distal radius after Colles' fractures and electroneurographically verified median nerve compression underwent an opening wedge osteotomy without a simultaneous release of the transverse carpal ligament. 12 patients had reduction of the typical night pain with normal or almost normal sensibility within the first 2 months. In 1 patient a release of the carpal ligament was necessary after 6 months. 6 years postoperatively all patients had acceptable wrist function with normal function of the median nerve in all but one.
