(20) Fracture of the scaphoid is the most common injury of the carpus.
Ulnar
Definition:
(a.) Of or pertaining to the ulna, or the elbow; as, the ulnar nerve.
Example Sentences:
(1) Standard nerve conduction techniques using constant measured distances were applied to evaluate the median, ulnar and radial nerves.
(2) The anesthesiologist assessed the degree of neuromuscular blockade intraoperatively prior to pharmacologic reversal either by the standard method of visually counting the number of evoked thumb twitches elicited by supramaximal train-of-four stimulation of the ulnar nerve (i.e., thumb train-of-four count), or by an alternative method such as 1) visually counting the number of evoked orbicularis oculi muscle twitches elicited by supramaximal train-of-four stimulation of the facial nerve, or 2) observing the patient for clinical evidence of partial recovery (e.g., swallowing or attempts to breathe).
(3) The growth in the revascularized bone grafts has been compared to that in heterotopic, nonvascularized ulna transfers and to normal ulnar growth.
(4) One patient with the disease localised to the eyelid had normal EMG responses when monitored on the hand with ulnar nerve stimulation.
(5) The technique includes the soft tissue correction of the ulnar deviation.
(6) The mean values of radial and ulnar components for each pair of homologous fingers separately are also compared.
