Question

which presentation can be seen with entrapment of the ulnar nerve?
wrist drop
simian hand
claw hand
foot drop

Explanation:

• Wrist drop is linked to radial nerve injury.
• Simian hand is associated with median nerve damage.
• Claw hand results from ulnar nerve entrapment, as the nerve innervates intrinsic hand muscles that prevent clawing of the 4th and 5th digits.
• Foot drop is caused by peroneal nerve injury, unrelated to the ulnar nerve.

Answer:

Claw hand
