A perfect summary of the entrapment zones for guyons canal
Compression of the ulnar nerve in Guyon canal can often be confused with compression of the ulnar nerve at the cubital tunnel. A major distinguishing factor is the sensation over the dorsal ulnar aspect of the hand. The dorsal ulnar cutaneous nerve provides sensation to this region and branches off 8 cm. proximal to Guyon canal so it would be preserved if the ulnar nerve was being compressed at Guyon canal or at zone 1. The zones of Guyon canal can help localize the level of a low ulnar nerve injury. 👉Foundational knowledge is critical to developing effective critical thinking skills which is why it’s threaded throughout the Virtual Hand to Shoulder Fellowship, LLC curriculum. As we advance to discuss increasingly complex pathologies, we are always circling back to foundational knowledge, reinforcing knowledge and connecting dots. This is important in cultivating effective critical thinking skills and also in enabling clinicians to become autonomous in continuing their own professional development. Our next virtual hand therapy fellowship cohort begins this September. #handtherapy #handtherapists #certifiedhandtherapist #chtexam #guyoncanal #ulnarnerve #ulnarnervetransposition #virtualhandfellowship
