Distal radius fractures are common, especially in the elderly, and typically have excellent outcomes with volar plate fixation. However, complications such as inflammation, tendon rupture, and nerve compression can occur. Ultrasound is the best diagnostic tool for identifying screw-related tendon and nerve damage. We present a case of a 56-year-old woman who presents with four months of right wrist pain accompanied by "shocks which underwent surgery three years ago for a distal radius fracture.
