Experience with the free vascularized ulnar nerve graft in repair of supraclavicular lesions of the brachial plexus. An additional method for closing the gap in the nerve trunk. Epiperineurium-fascial stitches along the stumps of a transected nerve. in complete claw hand, produced by low lesion of median nerve & ulnar nerves, MP joints areĮxtended & interphalangeal joints flexed by still-functional extrinsics Muscles producing IP joint flexion are also denervated (see high ulnar nerve lesion) if ulnar nerve lesion is above midforearm, clawing of ulnar two fingers does not occur, because extrinsic ![]() this posture is sometimes called hand of benediction w/ this lesion, 4th & 5th fingers are hyperextended at MP joints by long extensors but flexed at interphalangeal joints if ulnar nerve is divided below mid-forearm, ulnar claw hand is produced ( low ulnar nerve lesions) when grasping piece of paper between thumb and index finger, FPL fires (IP joint flexion) since adductor does not work paralysis of adductor pollicis produces Froment's sign division of ulnar nerve at wrist results in paralysis of all small muscles of hand except first & second lumbricales & most of thenar muscles combined lesions of the median and ulnar nerves: Trauma to Ulnar Nerve: (see: nerve repair) A variation in the path of the deep motor branch of the ulnar nerve at the wrist. A Neural Loop of the Deep Motor Branch of the Ulnar Nerve: An Anatomic Study. Distribution pattern of the deep branch of the ulnar nerve in the hypothenar eminence. Palmar cutaneous branch of the ulnar nerve. The Dorsal Branch of the Ulnar Nerve: An Anatomic Study. General Orthopaedics: The Anatomy of the Distal Ulnar Tunnel. deep branch, innervating hypothenar muscles & third & fourth lumbricales, adductor pollicis, all interossei, & deep head of FPB deep motor branch passes adjacent to hook of hamate superficial cutaneous branch to ulnar portion of palm & volar surfaces of ulnar 1 1/2 fingers, supplies dorsoulnar aspect of the hand and the ulnar 1 1/2 fingers the nerve emerges from the medial border of the FCU about 5 cm proximal to the pisiform it passes down forearm under FCU, & then into Guyon's canal just below elbow, it sends branches to FCU & ulnar half of FDP anatomy and sites of compression in the cubital tunnel: Medial head of triceps, around posterior aspect of medial epicondyle, & enters forearm between two heads of FCU ulnar nerve passes distally, just medial to axillary artery, pierces medial intermuscular septum halfway down the arm, passes back over C8 and T1 nerve roots give rise to the medial cord which in turn, forms the ulnar nerve Differential Dx: Ulnar Nerve Dysfunction:
