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.

Our Approach to Ulnar Nerve Palsy

At Dr. Anubhav Gupta’s practice, we take a patient-centered and multidisciplinary approach to diagnosing and treating ulnar nerve injuries. Our goal is to restore hand function, alleviate discomfort, and prevent long-term complications.

Thorough Evaluation

A clinical examination and nerve function tests (EMG & NCS) help determine the severity of nerve involvement.

Non-Surgical Management

In mild to moderate cases, treatment includes splinting, anti-inflammatory medications, physiotherapy, and nerve gliding exercises.

Surgical Intervention

For severe or progressive cases, we offer ulnar nerve decompression, nerve repair, or tendon transfer surgery to restore function.

Rehabilitation & Recovery

A structured hand therapy program helps regain strength, coordination, and sensation.

When to Suspect Ulnar Nerve Palsy?

You should seek medical attention if you experience:

Weak Grip Strength – Difficulty holding objects or performing fine motor tasks
Numbness or Tingling – Sensation loss in the ring and little fingers
Claw Hand Deformity – Fingers bending in an abnormal position due to muscle weakness
Muscle Wasting – Noticeable thinning of muscles in the hand, especially near the thumb and palm

Dr Anubhav Gupta is one of the best surgeons for plastic surgery. My daughter got hurt and part of her finger was amputated while playing. He was easily approachable and he assured us that all will be well. He did the surgery and explained us what had happened and how finger will recover. Even post surgery care provided by him and his team is excellent. Thank you doctor for the personal care you give. May you be blessed.
