| ulnar bursa | The synovial sheath that surrounds the eight tendons of the superficial and deep flexors of the digits of the hand as they pass through the carpal canal; it is commonly continuous with the digital sheath of the little finger. Synonym: vagina communis musculorum flexorum, ulnar bursa. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ulnar clubhand | Clubhand with angular deviation toward ulnar side of limb. See: manus vara. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ulnar collateral ligament | The triangular ligament extending from the medial epicondyle of the humerus to the medial side of the coronoid process and olecranon of the ulna. Synonym: ligamentum collaterale ulnare, medial collateral ligament of elbow, ulnar collateral ligament. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ulnar collateral ligament of elbow | The triangular ligament extending from the medial epicondyle of the humerus to the medial side of the coronoid process and olecranon of the ulna. Synonym: ligamentum collaterale ulnare, medial collateral ligament of elbow, ulnar collateral ligament. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ulnar collateral ligament of wrist | A ligament that passes from the styloid process of the ulna to the pisiform and triquetrum. Synonym: ligamentum collaterale carpi ulnare, internal collateral ligament of the wrist, medial ligament of wrist. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ulnar eminence | An eminence smaller than the radial, on the ulnar side of the palmar aspect of the wrist, due to presence of the pisiform bone. Synonym: eminentia carpi ulnaris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ulnar extensor muscle of wrist | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, lateral epicondyle of humerus (humeral head) and oblique line and posterior border of ulna (ulnar head); insertion, base of fifth metacarpal bone; action, extends and abducts wrist ulnarward; nerve supply, radial (posterior interosseous). Synonym: musculus extensor carpi ulnaris, ulnar extensor muscle of wrist. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ulnar flexor muscle of wrist | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, humeral head from medial condyle of humerus, ulnar head from olecranon and upper three-fifths of posterior border of ulna; insertion, pisiform bone, but is continued to the fifth metacarpal bone via the pisometacarpal ligament; action, flexes and abducts wrist ulnarward; nerve supply, ulnar. Synonym: musculus flexor carpi ulnaris, ulnar flexor muscle of wrist. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ulnar head | The name applied to a head of origin of a forearm muscle arising from the ulna. Nomina Antomica lists ulnar heads (caput ulnare...) of the following: 1) flexor carpi ulnaris muscle (... Musculi flexoris carpi ulnaris ); 2) pronator teres muscle (... Musculi pronatoris teritis ). Synonym: caput ulnare. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ulnar notch | The concave surface on the medial side of the distal end of the radius which articulates with the head of the ulna. Synonym: incisura ulnaris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ulnar reflex | Pronation and adduction of the hand caused by tapping the styloid process of the ulna. Synonym: pronator reflex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ulnar styloid erosions | <radiology> Seen in rheumatoid arthritis, related to: triangular fibrocartilage, prestyloid recess (of joint space), extensor carpi ulnaris tendon (12 Dec 1998) |
| ulnar variance | <radiology> Ulna minus variance ulna shorter than radius increased frequency of avascular necrosis of lunate associated with DISI, ulna plus variance ulna longer than radius increased stress on triangular fibrocartilage (12 Dec 1998) |
