Claw hand, also known as ulnar claw or spinster's claw, is a deformity of the hand caused by damage to the ulnar nerve. This results in paralysis of muscles that normally allow the fingers to straighten. In a claw hand, the fingers are bent at the middle knuckle and straighten at the top knuckle, giving the hand a claw-like posture. Common causes include nerve damage, skin scarring, bacterial diseases like leprosy, and birth defects. Treatment may involve resting the hand, wearing a brace, medications for underlying conditions, surgery to repair nerves or muscles, and skin grafts for scarring.

Claw Hand
Claw hand is a condition where the fingers are noticeably curved or bent, resembling a bear's claw. It can affect one or more fingers on one or both hands. Claw hand can be present at birth (congenital) or caused by nerve damage, skin scarring from burns, or bacterial diseases like leprosy. The main cause is nerve injury or damage, which can result from birth defects, trauma, repetitive motions, or compression of the ulnar nerve in the wrist. There are two main types: partial/ulnar claw hand where the fourth and fifth fingers are affected, and complete claw hand where all fingers are curved. Treatment options include physical therapy, surgery to repair nerves or tendons, medication

The document discusses ulnar nerve palsy and tendon transfers used to treat it. It begins by describing the anatomy of the ulnar nerve and its motor and sensory functions. It then discusses clinical findings associated with ulnar nerve injuries at different locations. Various tendon transfers are summarized that aim to restore small and ring finger flexion, key pinch, correct clawing, and improve grip strength for patients with ulnar nerve palsy. These include transferring forearm muscles like the ECRB to restore key pinch or correct clawing. The modified Stiles-Bunnell procedure is also summarized, which uses the middle finger superficialis tendon to dynamically correct clawing during finger flexion.
Small group teaching in anatomy
The ulnar nerve originates from the brachial plexus and passes behind the medial epicondyle of the humerus at the elbow before entering the palm of the hand. It is commonly injured at the elbow, where it lies behind the medial epicondyle, often due to fractures of the medial epicondyle, and at the wrist, where it is superficial and vulnerable to cuts and stab wounds in front of the flexor retinaculum. The document provides details on the anatomical course and sites of potential injury of the ulnar nerve.

Key examination techniques are outlined, including tests for specific muscle function. Surgical management principles include nerve repair, decompression, and tendon transfers. Common compression neuropathies like carpal tunnel syndrome and pronator teres syndrome are also summarized, including their symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment.
Median Nerve Injury and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome results from median nerve compression in the carpal tunnel of the wrist. It is caused by narrowing of the tunnel or swelling of its contents. Symptoms include numbness, tingling and pain in the hand and fingers. Conservative treatments include splinting and steroid injections while surgery involves cutting the transverse carpal ligament to relieve pressure on the median nerve. Recurrence after surgery can occur due to incomplete release, scarring or persistent swelling.
Median nerve
The median nerve forms in the axilla from the lateral and medial roots of the brachial plexus, then travels through the arm. A proximal injury to the median nerve near the elbow results in an inability to flex the index and middle fingers, known as the "hand of benediction" posture, due to loss of lateral lumbrical function while the fingers are extended by unopposed radial nerve action. This lesion also causes loss of opposition of the thumb, resembling an ape hand. Examination of the median nerve involves testing muscles like the flexor pollicis longus and sensation over the nerve's distribution.

anatomy
Abducens nerve palsy is the most common ocular motor paralysis. The abducens (sixth) cranial nerve controls the lateral rectus muscle, which abducts the eye. Abducens nerve palsy causes an esotropia due to the unopposed action of the antagonistic medial rectus muscle. The affected eye turns in toward the nose and is unable to abduct properly. The deviation is constant and is usually greater at distance fixation than at near. The esotropia is also worse when the patient is looking toward the affected side.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
