Introduction

• Ulnar nerve is on of the major terminal Branches
  of Brachial Plexus. It is the continuation of medial
  cord of brachial plexus which arises from the
  anterior Division of the lower Trunk.
• Root Value:
• The fibers of ulnar nerve arise from the eight
  cervical and first thorasic nerve, so the root value
  of ulnar nerve is C8 and T1. These (C8,T1)
  coordinate to form the lower trunk of brachial
  plexus.
Brachial Plexus
Continuation of Ulnar Nerve
• Course From Cord to Axilla.

• The Ulnar nerve runs between the Axillary artery
  and vein in the axilla.

• Course from Axilla to Arm
• From the axilla it enters in the arm and stays
  between the brachial artery and vein.
.
• Course from Arm to Elbow
• The nerve runs inferior and posterior medial
  aspect of humerus bone till it enters the
  cubital tunnel.
• In the arm throughout the course the nerve
  runs superficially and innervates no any
  muscle.

 Course from Elbow to Forearm
• At the elbow the ulnar nerve lies in a groove
   (Retrocondylar groove) which is formed by
   medial epicondyle humerus and olecranon
   process of ulna, referred as "funny bone".
• The ulnar nerve is trapped between the bone
   and the overlying skin at this point.
  It enters the forearm through the aponeurotic
   arcade (Cubital Tunnel).

Supplies of Ulnar Nerve In Forearm

The ulnar nerve enters the anterior (flexor)
  compartment of the forearm through the two
  heads of flexor Carpi ulnaris and runs alongside
  the ulna bone.

There it innervates the Flexor Carpi Ulnaris (FCU)
  muscle & medial half of Flexor Digitorum
  Profundus III & IV (FDP) muscle.
• No further muscle is supplied by the ulnar nerve
  in the medial forearm until it enters the wrist
  through guyon canal.
• G
Course from forearm to wrist
Dorsal Cutaneous Innervations of the Ulnar Nerve

In the forearm it runs distally on the ulnar artery, and about
five to eight centimeters proximal to the wrist , the dorsal
ulnar cutaneous sensory branch exits to supply sensation to
the dorsal medial hand and the dorsal little finger as far
distally as the nail & the 4 digit.

Palmar Cutaneous Innervations of the Ulnar Nerve

• At that level of the ulnar styloid the Palmer Cutaneous
  sensory branch originates to supply sensation to the
  proximal medial palm.
Dorsal cutaneous branch
Palmar cutaneous branch
At the wrist, the ulnar nerve and artery lie in a
canal formed by the pisiform bone medially and
the hook of hamate laterally (Guyon’s canal).
• In this region the nerve divides into two
  superficial and deep branches.
• The Superficial Branch
• The Deep Motor Branch
1. The superficial branch is generally considered
    a sensory branch which supplies to distal
    palm, fifth and half of the fourth digit.
It also supplies palmaris brevis, a thin muscle
beneath the skin which cannot be studied
electromyographically.
The deep branch gives off motor innervation to
   the hand muscles. .
• After it travels down the ulna, the ulnar nerve
   enters the palm of the hand. The ulnar nerve
   and artery pass superficial to the flexor
   retinaculum via the ulnar canal.
Ulnar Innervated Muscles
•   Forearm:
•   Flexor Carpi Ulnaris (C7, C8, T1)
•   Flexor Digitorum Profundus III & IV (C7, C8)
•   Thenar:
•   Hypothenar Muscles (C8, T1)
•   Adductor Pollicis (C8, T1)
•   Flexor Pollicis Brevis (C8, T1)
•   Fingers:
•   Palmer Interosseous (C8, T1)
•   Dorsal Interosseous (C8, T1)
•   III & IV Lumbricles (C8, T1)
•   Digiti Minimi:
•   Abductor Digiti Minimi (Quinti) (C8, T1)
•   Opponens Dgiti Minimi (C8-T1)
•   Flexor Digiti Minimi. : ( C8-T1)

Anatomy of ulnar Nerve (Ulnar Nerve Anatomy)

  • 1. Anatomy Of Ulnar Nerve BY: SYED IRSHAD MURTAZA TRAINEE TECH NEUROPHYSIOLOGY AKUH KARACHI Date: 30-05-2012
  • 2. Introduction • Ulnar nerve is on of the major terminal Branches of Brachial Plexus. It is the continuation of medial cord of brachial plexus which arises from the anterior Division of the lower Trunk. • Root Value: • The fibers of ulnar nerve arise from the eight cervical and first thorasic nerve, so the root value of ulnar nerve is C8 and T1. These (C8,T1) coordinate to form the lower trunk of brachial plexus.
  • 4. Continuation of Ulnar Nerve • Course From Cord to Axilla. • The Ulnar nerve runs between the Axillary artery and vein in the axilla. • Course from Axilla to Arm • From the axilla it enters in the arm and stays between the brachial artery and vein.
  • 5. .
  • 6. • Course from Arm to Elbow • The nerve runs inferior and posterior medial aspect of humerus bone till it enters the cubital tunnel. • In the arm throughout the course the nerve runs superficially and innervates no any muscle.
  • 8. Cont’d Course from Elbow to Forearm • At the elbow the ulnar nerve lies in a groove (Retrocondylar groove) which is formed by medial epicondyle humerus and olecranon process of ulna, referred as "funny bone". • The ulnar nerve is trapped between the bone and the overlying skin at this point. It enters the forearm through the aponeurotic arcade (Cubital Tunnel).
  • 10. Supplies of Ulnar Nerve In Forearm The ulnar nerve enters the anterior (flexor) compartment of the forearm through the two heads of flexor Carpi ulnaris and runs alongside the ulna bone. There it innervates the Flexor Carpi Ulnaris (FCU) muscle & medial half of Flexor Digitorum Profundus III & IV (FDP) muscle. • No further muscle is supplied by the ulnar nerve in the medial forearm until it enters the wrist through guyon canal.

Course from forearm to wrist Dorsal Cutaneous Innervations of the Ulnar Nerve In the forearm it runs distally on the ulnar artery, and about five to eight centimeters proximal to the wrist , the dorsal ulnar cutaneous sensory branch exits to supply sensation to the dorsal medial hand and the dorsal little finger as far distally as the nail & the 4 digit. Palmar Cutaneous Innervations of the Ulnar Nerve • At that level of the ulnar styloid the Palmer Cutaneous sensory branch originates to supply sensation to the proximal medial palm.
  • 15. At the wrist, the ulnar nerve and artery lie in a canal formed by the pisiform bone medially and the hook of hamate laterally (Guyon’s canal). • In this region the nerve divides into two superficial and deep branches. • The Superficial Branch • The Deep Motor Branch
  • 16. 1. The superficial branch is generally considered a sensory branch which supplies to distal palm, fifth and half of the fourth digit. It also supplies palmaris brevis, a thin muscle beneath the skin which cannot be studied electromyographically. The deep branch gives off motor innervation to the hand muscles. . • After it travels down the ulna, the ulnar nerve enters the palm of the hand. The ulnar nerve and artery pass superficial to the flexor retinaculum via the ulnar canal.
