Ulnar Nerve

Brachial Plexus: Deep and Medial Cord (C8- Superficial T1, C7) Branches

It passes through Guyon's Tunnel, superficial to Carpal Tunnel; "Funny Bone" between medial epicondyle and olecranon; Divides into deep and superficial branches

The Flexor Carpi Ulnaris and medial half of the Flexor Digitorum Profundus

Medial 1/3 of hand, both dorsal and palmar

Superficial Peroneal Nerve

Common Peroneal Nerve

Crosses the front of the LATERAL ankle very LEG subcutaneously. Traverses very superficial to the extensor retinaculum. Gives lateral and medial ANTERIOR branches to dorsum of LEG foot

Deep Peroneal Nerve

Lateral Sural Cutaneous Nerve Spinal Accessory Nerve Saphenous Nerve

Common Peroneal Lateral and Nerve Medial branches to dorsum of foot Common Peroneal Nerve Cranial Nerve XI Femoral Nerve

KLUMPKE'S PARALYSIS / CLAW-HAND: No intrinsic hand muscles = overflexion distally and overextension proximally; loss of cutaneous sensation Dorsum of the VARUS: Foot foot except first bends inward due web-space; to lost eversion of lateral lower foot; It is so leg superficial that it can be irritated by tight shoes Dorsal webFOOT DROP: space between Cannot raise foot 1st and 2nd during a normal toes gait due to lost dorsiflexion Lateral upper leg

Trapezius Muscle Runs with Saphenous vein ONLY IN LEG, runs just in front of medial malleolus Medial aspect of the leg and foot It would be the only residual innervation of the foot, should you lost the Sciatic
