Palmar/dorsal interossei
Adductor pollicis

18
Q

What is the cutaneous innervation of the ulnar nerve?

A

The medial 1 1/2 digits on the dorsal and palmar sides.

19
Q

What are the regional features of the ulnar nerve?

A

Passes down the medial side behind the medial epicondyle.
Slips between the two heads of FCU and tucks under FCU lying on FDP.
Passes over flexor retinaculum into hand and tucked next to pisiform.

20
Q

Where is the ulnar nerve vulnerable to injury?

A

Behind the medial epicondyle and the flexor retinaculum.

21
Q

Is an injury to the musculocutaneous nerve common?

A

No, as it is well protected in the axilla.

Stab wound.

22
Q

How is the median nerve commonly injured at the elbow?

A

Supracondylar fracture of the humerus.

23
Q

What is ulnar claw?

A

Hyperextension of the MCP joints of the little and ring fingers as a result of paralysis of the medial two lumbricals and the now unopposed action if the extensor muscles.
Flexion at the IP joints.
