Ulnar neuropathy is a disorder involving the ulnar nerve. Ulnar neuropathy may be caused by entrapment of the ulnar nerve at the elbow or wrist with resultant numbness and tingling into the fourth and fifth fingers.Motor function can be assessed by testing for a positive Froment's sign, or making an OK sign (which the patient will be unable to do).ndeed, the elbow is probably the most common site of pain in an ulnar neuropathy. Occasionally, patients specifically say âI have pain in my elbow,â âI have pain in my funny bone,â or even âI have pain in this little groove in my elbow,â but usually they are not quite so explicit unless prompted.
