Ulnar Nerve Injury: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment. The ulnar nerve travels down the internal side of the elbow. Ulnar nerve injury or contusion caused by trauma to the ulnar nerve means often bruising injury to it near the surface of the skin. Ulnar nerve injury causes the capillaries surrounding ulnar nerve to rupture and bleed. The blood from the ruptured capillaries infiltrates the nerve. If there is direct injury to the ulnar nerve, then it results in temporary or permanent damage of the nerve. Symptoms of ulnar nerve injury are similar to ulnar nerve neuropathy. Common symptoms of ulnar nerve injury are pain, weakness in the hand, and loss of feeling, commonly in the fourth and fifth fingers.
