Abstract: Hypothenar hammer syndrome (HHS) is a post-traumatic change of ulnar artery in the hypothenar region. HHS is a rarely occurring disease and little known among doctors which makes its diagnosis difficult. The authors of this article presented here a clinical case of HHS among the Kazakh population. This clinical case of HHS is the first known in Kazakhstan, so we present it due to it’s exclusivity. The optimal treatment of a such complication of hypothenar hammer syndrome like an aneurism of ulnar artery is surgical. The surgical removement of aneurism usually does not cause relapse or serious complications.Key words: hypothenar hammer syndrome, ulnar artery aneurism, ulnar artery aneurism removal, microsurgery, hand surgery.Сorresponding author: Assel Kaliyeva, Orthopaedic surgeon, PhD-student at theAstana medical university, Astana, Kazakhstan Postal code: Z10H8P3 Address: Kazakhstan, Astana, Beibitshilik street, 49/A Phone: +7 7058563982 E-mail: [email protected] Trauma Ortho Kaz 76 (1) 2025: 37-40Recieved: 24-01-2025Accepted: 09-03-2025 This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License
