Metacarpus width- 7.92 cm. Metacarpus length- 8.06 cm. Guyon’s canal length- 2.23 cm. Distance between final division of ulnar nerve and proximal pisiform- 1.14 cm. Long axis of ulnar nerve- 4.32 mm. Short axis- 2.58 mm.Area of ulnar nerve transverse section- 8.34 mm2. Number of nerve fascicles- 17.Tree types of ulnar nerve division were recorded, four variants of hypothenar muscle branching pattern were observed, three variants of palmaris brevis muscular branch were evaluated.Presence of cutaneous branch originating from ulnar nerve in Guyon’s canal, communicating branch between branches of ulnar nerve, and between ulnar and median nerve were confirmed.}, title={Macro and microscopic evaluation of ulnar nerve and its branches variations in Guyon’s canal}, type={Praca doktorska}, keywords={ulnar nerve, Guyon’s canal, variations}, }
