If,a person falls on outstretched hand or directly on surface,he may face some complications i.e:nerve compression,bleeding fracture and skin tear.
First of all,nerve compression will be discussed:
Cubital Tunnel Syndrome:
It is the second most common peripheral nerve entrapment syndrome next to carpal tunnel,causes symptoms in the arm and hand including pain, numbness,and muscle weakness,particularly in the areas controlled by the ulnar nerve like the ring and little finger.
Causes Of Compression:
It include daily habits like leaning on your elbows for long periods of time, sleeping with your arms bent,or repetitive movement of the arm.Direct injury to the inside of the elbow, like when you hit your bone,can also cause symptoms of ulnar nerve pain.
*An elbow fracture or dislocation will result in repeated elbow bending,such as with cigarette smoking.Entrapment can cause pain,numbness and tingling in the forearm and fourth and fifth fingers.Severe cases causes ulnar nerve entrapment results in weakness in the hand and loss of muscle mass.
*This condition occurs when the ulnar nerve becomes compressed as it passes through the wrist or elbow.
