What happens during the disease - injury of ulnar nerve at wrist and hand level
The ulnar nerve is vulnerable to injury at the wrist and hand level due to its location in the ulnar tunnel. the ulnar tunnel is a narrow space between the ulnar head and the pisiform bone, and this space can become compressed when the wrist is bent or twisted. this compression can cause the ulnar nerve to become entrapped, resulting in pain, numbness, and tingling in the hand and fingers. if left untreated, the ulnar nerve can become permanently damaged, leading to long-term loss of sensation and motor function in the hand.
