We would like to inform and guide other hand surgery physicians by sharing the results of a patient with ulnar nerve compression due to hemosiderin accumulation due to hemophilia. We operated a hemophilia patient who applied late and had ulnar nerve compression and we achieved a successful result. In this publication, the patient we operated on was presented as a case report and discussed in the light of literature.

If proximal ulnar nerve injuries are not intervened, it usually leads to irreversible and negative consequences. It results in motor and sensory defects in the areas innervated by the ulnar nerve and weakness in the intrinsic muscles of the hand. In patients with irreversible ulnar nerve damage due to cubital tunnel syndrome that have been left untreated for a long time, or proximal ulnar nerve injuries due to other reasons, the SETS method can restore especially the intrinsic functions of the hand. In this article, a patient with ulnar nerve damage that developed after benign tumor resection in the vicinity of the ulnar nerve, and the SETS operation and its results, which was performed for a patient whose ulnar functions did not return despite being followed with EMG for 1.5 years, are presented.
