Ulnar Nerve Palsy

Ulnar Nerve Palsy occurs when the ulnar nerve is compressed or injured, causing weakness, numbness, and difficulty using the hand and fingers. For advanced ulnar nerve palsy treatment in Delhi, Dr. Anubhav Gupta at Plastic Surgery Delhi provides expert diagnosis and surgical care to restore hand function and improve grip.

What is Ulnar Nerve Palsy?

Ulnar Nerve Palsy occurs when the ulnar nerve, which controls movement and sensation in the ring and little fingers, becomes compressed or damaged. This condition can lead to numbness, tingling, weakness, and difficulty gripping objects, affecting everyday tasks like writing, holding utensils, or buttoning a shirt. In advanced cases, it can result in claw hand deformity, where the fingers bend abnormally.
