Role of ulnar nerve sonography in leprosy neuropathy with electrophysiologic correlation.

30 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic usefulness of ulnar nerve sonography in leprosy neuropathy with electrophysiologic correlation. METHODS: Twenty-one consecutive patients with leprosy (12 men and 9 women; mean age ... Read more...

[Musculosceletal reconstruction in bilateral forearm transplantation]

15 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: Improvement of motor function of the upper extremity was investigated in a patient following bilateral forearm transplantation. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Following an electric shock injury with amputation of both forearms at the proximal ... Read more...

Fibrolipoma of multiple nerves in the wrist.

30 Jul 2009 We report fibrolipoma involving the median nerve, its palmar cutaneous branch as well as the ulnar nerve in the same hand of a 25-year-old woman. The patient presented with a lump in the wrist with signs of carpal tunnel syndrome. Multiple nerve ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Ulnar Nerve'

Definition: A major nerve of the upper extremity. In humans, the fibers of the ulnar nerve originate in the lower cervical and upper thoracic spinal cord (usually C7 to T1), travel via the medial cord of the brachial plexus, and supply sensory and motor innervation to parts of the hand and forearm.
