  Fig. 1. Ultrasound imaging of the median nerve at the volar wrist. (A) Short-axis view depicts the close relationship between the bifid median nerve (white arrows) and the metal plate (arrowheads). (B) Long-axis view clearly shows the swollen median nerve (red vs. blue arrows) distal to compression (black arrow) by the underlying metal plate (arrowhead). Insets show the transducer’s position. ft, flexor tendon.

  Fig. 2. Anteroposterior radiograph shows the metal plate in the radius and the fracture of the ulnar styloid (arrowhead).
