Article Synopsis
- The dorsal cutaneous branch of the ulnar nerve can be easily injured during wrist surgery, necessitating a better understanding of its anatomy and pathway.
- In 44 dissections, it was determined that this nerve branch typically arises about 6.8 cm above the ulnar styloid and has a variety of crossing patterns, with the most frequent crossing occurring 10 mm below the ulnar styloid.
- Despite thorough mapping efforts, a definitive safe zone could not be established, highlighting the importance of identifying this nerve branch during surgical procedures on the wrist.
