Reported herein is the case of a 45-year-old man with a Colles' fracture complicated by median nerve transfixion by a bony spike. This seems not to have been reported previously and reinforces the belief that early median nerve exploration should be performed if there is nerve dysfunction associated with a volar bony spike on the postreduction roentgenograms.
