Question
where does paresthesia occur in ulnar nerve compression at the elbow? dorsal forearm, wrist lateral hand, thumb medial hand, fifth digit anterior forearm, elbow
Brief Explanations
The ulnar nerve innervates the medial (ulnar) aspect of the hand, including the fifth digit (pinky finger) and half of the fourth digit. Compression of this nerve at the elbow (cubital tunnel syndrome) causes paresthesia (tingling/numbness) in its sensory distribution.
