|
ulnar nerve injury at wrist |
M: - loss of flexion of 4/5th digits, inability to cross digits - claw hand deformity

why is there dorsal sparing with ulnar nerve injury at the wrist? |
the posterior cutaneous branch of the ulnar nerve is given off higher up in the forearm and does not reach the wrist |
|
The Ulnar Paradox
'the closer to the Paw, the worse the Claw' |
-ulnar n innervates ulnar half of FDP -a more proximal injury denervates FDP, so flexion at IPJs is weakened -4/5th fingers remain paralyzed in extension -this reduces claw-like appearance of hand -usually a more proximal injury is more debilitating than is a distal one |
