Anatomical study of the ulnar nerve in the hand.
This anatomical study is based on the dissection of fifty adult hands. The classic configuration of the ulnar nerve was found in thirty-nine cases out of fifty, and in eleven cases there were variations with respect to division. The levels of division of the different branches were precisely determined by an analysis of variations in the areas of muscular innervation.
