5 lip 2023 · The superficial branch of the ulnar nerve supplies sensory innervation to the anterior aspect of the ulnar 1½ digits (little finger and half of the ring finger) and medial palmar skin. Additionally, it provides motor innervation to the palmaris brevis muscle in the hypothenar region of the hand.

30 paź 2023 · Innervation. The interphalangeal joints of the hand receive innervation from the proper palmar digital nerves, arising from both the median and ulnar nerves. Specifically, digits 1-3 and the lateral half of digit 4 are innervated by the median nerve, while the medial half of digit 4 and the entirety of digit 5 are innervated by the ulnar nerve.
13 lis 2023 · The ulnar nerve enters the hand under the superficial part of the flexor retinaculum (in Guyon’s canal) after which it divides into the deep and superficial branches. The deep branch is mainly motor and supplies the hypothenar , interossei and medial two lumbricals muscles.

4 paź 2024 · Dorsal cutaneous branch – innervates the dorsal surface of the medial one and a half fingers, and the associated dorsal hand area. At the wrist, the ulnar nerve travels superficially to the flexor retinaculum, and is medial to the ulnar artery. It enters the hand via the ulnar canal (Guyon’s canal).
Abstract. The anatomy of the ulnar nerve is described from its origin at the brachial plexus to its termination in the hand and digits. The critical anatomy surrounding the cubital tunnel and Guyon canal is emphasized, and clinically relevant anatomic variations, muscle anomalies, and peripheral nerve anastomoses are described.
the ulnar nerve and artery. The complex articulation of the wrist joint permits the complex three-dimensional movements of the hand relative to the forearm (Kijima and Viegas 2009; Nichols et al. 2013). Bones. The skeleton of the hand and wrist consists of 27 bones, 8 carpals, 5 metacarpals, and 14 phalanges.
