Ulnar Nerve

The ulnar nerve is one of the main nerves in the elbow area. It is the most important nerve that provides sensation and movement of the fingers, hand and shoulder. This nerve begins in the shoulder and continues along the intramuscular canal, where it is surrounded by the elbow muscle. It then passes through a canal in the forearm and moves to the inner surface of the hand. In the palm, the nerve divides individual bundles into their key functions. But it is also involved in sensitivity and supports metabolism in connective tissue. The elbow joint undergoes enormous stress every day, so any damage or malfunction in its functioning can cause pain, weakness, numbness in the hands, as well as general discomfort in the hands.

Symptoms of ulnar nerve injury can vary. The most common are numbness, pain and weakness in the fingers, wrist and shoulder. If the nerve is damaged in its inner sheath, a person may experience pain in the arm. If the elbow joint becomes completely dysfunctional, the affected area may experience severe dysfunction. In addition, this nerve is also responsible for stabilizing joints and nourishing connective tissue, which can lead to complications from injuries.
