The entrapment of the ulnar nerve in Guyon's canal (GC) is a well-known wrist canalicular syndrome which is usually followed by a gradual combination of both sensitive and motor symptomatology. However, GC nerve compression could also cause a pure hand motor dysfunction. This condition, less frequent than the classic Guyon's syndrome, can be difficult to diagnose. Authors report a case series of eight patients affected by isolated compression of the ulnar nerve motor branch, due to piso-triquetrum or triquetro-hamate joint ganglia. Surgical technique and postoperative outcomes are discussed in this paper. The isolated compression of the ulnar nerve motor branch is a very rare clinical condition which is often linked to several causes. The rarity of the pathology is probably due to lack of knowledge and therefore to the difficulty in formulating a correct diagnosis. Surgical treatment appears to be decisive in most cases, although late diagnosis often leads to incomplete functional recovery.
