0 a Latin word meaning "ulnar" (= relating to the long, thin bone in the lower part of the arm), used in medical names and descriptions --
In addition, a tendon transfer of the extensor carpi ulnaris to the extensor carpi radialis brevis may be performed to correct ulnar deviation or wrist extension weakness, or both.
After placing the wrist in the correct position, radial wrist extensors are transferred to the extensor carpi ulnaris tendon, to help stabilize the wrist in straight position.
The unbranched portion of the median nerve (which arises from the cubital fossa) innervates muscles of superficial and intermediate groups of the anterior(flexor) compartment except flexor carpi ulnaris.
Palmar arching is further increased when flexor carpi ulnaris (which is attached to the pisiform) and intrinsic hand muscles attached to the transverse carpal ligament acts on the arch system.
In this context the pisiform is regarded as a sesamoid bone embedded in the tendon of the flexor carpi ulnaris.
The other two most commonly injured are the sixth (extensor carpi ulnaris) and second (intersection syndrome) compartments.
It is contained within the flexor carpi ulnaris tendon.
The objective measures were efficiency, absolute strength and weight of the flexor carpi ulnaris muscle.
