Claw-like deformity
Ulnar claw
An ulnar claw, also known as claw hand, is an abnormal hand position that develops due to a problem with the ulnar nerve. A hand in ulnar claw position will have the 4th and 5th fingers drawn towards the back of the hand at the first knuckle and curled towards the palm at the second and third knuckles. Some sources refer to the ulnar claw as a "hand of benediction". However, the term "hand of benediction" more commonly refers to a similar hand position which is caused by damage to the median nerve and is only present when the patient is asked to make a fist.
