There was some wasting of the muscles supplied by the median and ulnar nerves, and complete obliteration of the radial pulse.
This pain was followed by spastic contracture, first of the ulnar fingers and later of the wrist and elbow, which could only be straightened by the application of considerable force.
Complete median paralysis, anæsthesia in the ulnar area, and in the radial supply to the dorsum of the middle and ring fingers.

Radiogram of a man aged seventy-five, showing calcification of both radial and ulnar arteries.
Blows on what is vulgarly called the funny-bone are not uncommon exciting causes of neuralgia in predisposed persons, and cutting wounds of the ulnar a little above the wrist are rather frequent causes.
Rarely, however, does the neuralgia remain limited to the ulnar nerve; in the majority of cases it soon spreads to other nerves which emanate from the brachial plexus.
If the fracture occurs at any part of the forearm from the radio-ulnar arch down to the knee, it may involve either the radius alone or the radius and the cubitus, which are there intimately united.
A fracture in this region may also involve the radius or the ulna, the latter being broken at times in its upper portion above the radio-ulnar arch at the olecranon.
To inject iodoform, the needle is inserted immediately below the radial or the ulnar styloid process.
Congenital lateral deviation of the phalanges is more unsightly than disabling; it is met with chiefly in the thumb, in which the terminal phalanx deviates to the radial or to the ulnar side in extension; the deviation disappears on flexion.
It is almost always due to a direct blow sustained while protecting the head from a stroke, or to a fall on the ulnar edge of the forearm, as in going up a stair.
The free communication between the elbow and the superior radio-ulnar joint should be borne in mind.
The deformity is characterised by an elevation on the dorsum running obliquely upwards from the ulnar to the radial side of the wrist, and caused by the head of the ulna, which remains in position, and the distal end of the proximal fragment.
When the fragments are freed from one another, the wrist is flexed, and the hand carried to the ulnar side, while the lower fragment is moulded into position by the thumb of the surgeon's disengaged hand.
It is usually transverse, but may be slightly oblique from above downwards and from the radial to the ulnar side.
Tenderness over the position of the ulnar styloid may indicate fracture of that process, although it is sometimes present without fracture.
The ulnar styloid is best recognised on making deep pressure a little below and in front of the head of the ulna, which forms the rounded subcutaneous prominence seen on the back of the wrist when the hand is pronated.
Although the ulnar and median nerves are liable to be injured in almost any of these fractures, they suffer much less frequently than might be expected.
The tip of the radial styloid is palpable in the "anatomical snuff-box" between the tendons of the long and short extensors of the thumb, and it lies about half an inch lower than the ulnar styloid.

The centrale and intermedium are the middle and proximal products of the segmentation of the ulnar column of the primitive carpus, the distal second carpal being common both to this column and to the radial column.
In the Urodela (Goette) the ulnar and fibular sides are primitively dorsal, and the radial and tibial ventral: in Mammalia however Koelliker states that the radial and tibial edges are from the first anterior.
The ulnar or fibular side of the carpus or tarsus becomes divided into a proximal element--the ulnare or fibulare--the ulnare remaining partially united with the intermedium.
In the further growth the third and fourth digits, and in the foot the fifth digit also, gradually sprout out in succession from the ulnar side of the continuous carpal plate.
He finds that the primitive skeleton of the limb consists of a basal portion, the humerus, continued into a radial and an ulnar ray, which are respectively prolonged into the two first digits.

As in the lower limb at page 24, and for the same reasons, I here insert a brief account of the methods of tying the ulnar and radial arteries.
The joint cavity is shut off from the inferior radio-ulnar joint above, and the intercarpal joints below.
The inferior radio-ulnar joint is formed by the disk-shaped lower end of the ulna fitting into the slightly concave sigmoid cavity of the radius.
The joint cavity communicates freely with that of the superior radio-ulnar articulation.
The middle radio-ulnar articulation is simply an interosseous membrane, the fibres of which run downward and inward from the radius to the ulna.
The tibio-fibular articulations resemble the radio-ulnar in position but are much less movable.
Defn: A small bone on the ulnar side of the carpus in man and many mammals.
Defn: Of or pertaining to the ulna, or the elbow; as, the ulnar nerve.
The ulnar artery, however, lies somewhat concealed between the adjacent muscles, and in order to bring this vessel fully into view, it will be necessary to draw aside the tendon of the flexor ulnaris muscle, T.
The anatomical situation of the radial artery accounts for the fact, why the pulsation of this vessel is more easily felt than that of the ulnar artery.
It will be well, however, to bear in mind the possible occurrence of some of those anomalies to that normal relative position of the artery, the median, and the ulnar nerve, which the accompanying Plates represent.

The third man complained not of his right hand, but of his left and of his forearm, not his shoulder, having lost power especially on the ulnar side of his hand.
The anatomical words radial and ulnar referring to the two bones of the fore-arm, are not in popular use, and they might be similarly inappropriate, for it would sound oddly to speak of the radial side of the radius.
The vertex of the oblique sinus is generally inclined towards the radial side of the hand, but it must be observed that the contrary is more frequently the case in the fore-finger, the vertex there tending towards the ulnar side.
It could have been a small whorl, a small ulnaror radial loop, an arch, or a tented arch.
The following symbols are used: - Under the index fingers the appropriate capital letters should be placed for every pattern except the ulnar loop.
If a radial loop were opposite, this would be classified as an ulnar loop (if in the right hand).
In figure 356, the general type of the pattern could have been loop (ulnar if in the right hand) or whorl.
For example, a missing impression labeled "ulnar loop of about 8 counts" by the individual taking the prints, should be searched in the subsecondary as both I and O but should not be referenced as a pattern other than a loop.
Loops which flow in the direction of the ulna bone (toward the little finger) are called ulnar loops and those which flow in the direction of the radius bone are called radial loops.
