To review the anatomical course of the ulnar nerve at the wrist and determine the most susceptible location for mechanical compression.
Reviewed anatomical structures along the pathway of the ulnar nerve at the wrist, focusing on the pisohamate tunnel.
Identified the exit of the pisohamate tunnel as the most probable anatomical site for ulnar nerve compression at the wrist.
Described the structural boundaries of the pisohamate canal that predispose the nerve to localized entrapment.
