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
