Ulnar Nerve Injury Lawyer
Ulnar nerve injuries can result after a slip and fall accident. If a person falls and a hand, wrist or finger is jammed into the ground, then an ulnar nerve injury can occur. Ulnar nerve injuries can also become complicated and more serious, resulting in:
- Paresthesia
- Dysesthesia
- Muscle weakness
When the ulnar nerve is damaged, it needs to be repaired quickly. Ulnar nerve repairs can take a long time to heal, and may not restore the full function to a person’s hand. When an ulnar nerve injury occurs above the level of the person’s elbow, it can take over a year to heal. The surgery for an ulnar nerve injury repair affects the muscles in the hand. The ulnar nerve goes from the arm to the wrist, then down to the ring and pinky fingers. It starts at the level of the elbow; this is where if you bump your elbow and get a tingling feeling you say you “hit the funny bone.”
Symptoms of Ulnar Nerve DamageIf you have injured your ulnar nerve in a slip and fall accident, you may not realize the extent of your injury. You may experience certain symptoms of an ulnar nerve injury, such as:

A healthcare provider or doctor will perform several tests to determine if a person has ulnar nerve injury after a slip and fall. This diagnosis is often misdiagnosed, diagnosed in error, or missed completely as a diagnosis by some healthcare providers. The tests to determine an ulnar nerve injury in a person might include:
- Blood testing
- Imaging testing
- Nerve biopsy
- Electromyography (EMG)
- MRI
- Nerve conduction testing
Treatments for an ulnar nerve injury can be complicated. The prognosis for an ulnar nerve injury may be that the person’s hand is deformed, loses sensation in the hand or fingers, or loses complete motion in the hand or wrist. The most advantageous ulnar nerve injury treatments might include:
- Physical therapy
- Elbow pads
- Supportive splint at the elbow or wrist
