Abstract
Four patients with paraplegia at levels T3 or below were required to remain in the prone position for periods of 3 to 5 weeks following plastic surgical repair of their pressure ulcers. Serial nerve conduction studies permitted early identification of compromise of ulnar nerve function prior to onset of symptoms. These objective findings are helpful in encouraging patients to protect the nerve, thus preventing palsy.
