Superficial Branch of Ulnar Nerve Sensory and Motor Branches

The superficial branch of the ulnar nerve divides into sensory and motor branches in the hand. Sensory branches supply the palmar and dorsal surfaces of the medial one and a half fingers, while motor fibers innervate intrinsic hand muscles, including the palmar and dorsal interossei and adductor pollicis. Injury can cause numbness, weakness, or impaired grip. Knowledge of the ulnar nerve’s course, branching, and relationship to the flexor retinaculum and hypothenar muscles is critical in trauma management, surgical repair, and rehabilitation. Accurate identification preserves motor and sensory function, enhances dexterity, and supports hand function during activities requiring fine motor control.
