- a nerve running along the inner side of the arm and passing near the elbow; supplies intrinsic muscles of the hand and the skin of the medial side of the hand
How To Use ulnar nerve In A Sentence
- Sensory nerve-conduction velocities in the median and ulnar nerves were assessed with the orthodromic method.
- Repeated traction and compression on the ulnar nerve during elbow flexion and extension is the anatomical foundation of ulnar nerve compression at the elbow.
- Thus, even if direct penetration of the ulnar nerve is avoided, simply placing a medial epicondyle entry pin adjacent to the nerve may cause injury, presumably by constriction of the cubital tunnel.
- The lunate may be displaced forward by forcible dorsiflexion of the hand, and forms a projection beneath the flexor tendons; there is usually loss of sensibility in the distribution of the ulnar nerve in the hand. Manual of Surgery Volume Second: Extremities—Head—Neck. Sixth Edition.
- The sling is tensioned loosely to prevent any compression of the ulnar nerve.
- The surgical approach is a muscle-splitting approach that does not involve transposition of the ulnar nerve and avoids detachment of the flexor muscle origin.
- The motor component of the ulnar nerve, known as the deep motor branch of the ulnar nerve, courses around the hook of the hamate to innervate the other intrinsic muscles of the hand.
- The ulnar nerve also innervates the adductor pollicis and first dorsal interosseous muscles, which allow pinch.
- The results showed that in all the ulnar nerves there are fibers ofthe seventh cervical nerve which add into the ulnar nerve mainly through 4 communicating parts.
- The ulnar nerve passes medial to the olecranon process and behind the medial epicondyle in the cubital tunnel.
