• Nerve compression associated with cubital tunnel: Ulnar nerve
• Carpal bone hooked shape: Hamate
• Structure between metacarpal and thumb: Saddle joint
• Distal radioulnar joint support: Triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC)
• Nerve affected by medial elbow pain (Golfer's elbow): Median Nerve (specifically Deep branch)
• Structure supporting distal radioulnar joint during pronation/supination: Triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC)
• Muscles in hypothenar eminence innervation: Ulnar nerve
• Artery at risk in scaphoid fracture: Radial artery
