Wartenberg sign

The Wartenberg sign is one of the first clinical signs of peripheral entrapment of the Ulnar nerve. It is characterized by abduction of the little finger due to weakness of the third palmar interosseous muscle[^1]. Patients frequently report that the little finger "gets caught" when reaching into their trouser pocket[^1].
