The ulnar nerve begins in the brachial plexus and travels anterior to the medial head of the triceps in the upper arm. It then moves through the elbow at the condylar groove to the cubital tunnel, then between the two heads of the flexor carpi ulnaris in the forearm to the wrist. In the wrist it moves through the Guyon canal after which it splits to innervate the hand’s intrinsic muscles and gives sensation to the 4th and 5th fingers and lateral hand.
