The ulnar nerve and its branches innervate the following muscles in the forearm and hand: An articular branch that passes to the elbow joint while the ulnar nerve is passing between the olecranon and medial epicondyle of the humerus; In the forearm, via the muscular branches of ulnar nerve: Flexor carpi ulnaris [5]
The muscular branches of ulnar nerve are a variety of branches of the ulnar nerve. One supplies the flexor carpi ulnaris muscle (a superficial muscle of the anterior compartment of the forearm), while the other supplies the ulnar half of the flexor digitorum profundus muscle (a deep muscle of the anterior compartment of the forearm).
The palmar branch represents the continuation of the ulnar nerve as it crosses the flexor retinaculum of the hand on the lateral side of the pisiform bone, medial to and a little behind the ulnar artery. Some sources state that it ends by dividing into a superficial and a deep branch. [1]
The dorsal branch of ulnar nerve arises about 5 cm. proximal to the wrist; it passes backward beneath the Flexor carpi ulnaris, perforates the deep fascia, and, running along the ulnar side of the back of the wrist and hand, divides into two dorsal digital branches; one supplies the ulnar side of the little finger; the other, the adjacent sides of the little and ring fingers.
The deep branch of the ulnar nerve is a terminal, primarily motor branch of the ulnar nerve. [1] It is accompanied by the deep palmar branch of ulnar artery. Structure
The superficial branch of the ulnar nerve is a terminal branch of the ulnar nerve. [1] It supplies the palmaris brevis and the skin on the ulnar side of the hand. [2] [3] It also divides into a common palmar digital nerve and a proper palmar digital nerve. [2]
The common palmar digital nerves of the ulnar nerve are nerves of the hand. The nerve branches off the superficial branch of the ulnar nerve and runs toward the cleft between the ring and little fingers. [1]
The dorsal branch of the ulnar nerve divides into two dorsal digital branches; one supplies the ulnar side of the little finger; the other, the adjacent sides of the little and ring fingers. It also sends a twig to join that given by the superficial branch of the radial nerve for the adjoining sides of the middle and ring fingers, and assists ...
