الوصف: The hypothenar hammer syndrome is a rare case of post-traumatic arterial insufficiency of the hand caused by damage to the distal ulnar artery as it crosses the hamate bone in the palm. Digital artery occlusion and ischaemia may additionally occur from embolic events, resulting in severe circulatory impairment in the hand. 1'2 The syndrome usually results from occupational injury when the hand is subjected to repetitive trauma to the palm, particularly when the "heel" of the hand is used as a hammer. 24 A variety of occupations have been implicated as causes, but this report describes the unusual case of a young male motorcyclist with features of this syndrome, which is, to our knowledge, the first report of this association.
