Ulnar Nerve Palsy
Ulnar Nerve Palsy is a condition that occurs when the ulnar nerve, which runs from the neck to the hand, becomes damaged or compressed. This nerve is responsible for controlling movement and sensation in the ring and little fingers. Symptoms may include weakness in hand grip, difficulty with finger coordination, and numbness or tingling in the affected fingers.
The condition can result from various causes, including injury, prolonged pressure on the nerve, or underlying medical conditions like diabetes or rheumatoid arthritis. Treatment options may involve physical therapy, splinting, or, in severe cases, surgery to relieve pressure on the nerve.
