The internal topography of the ulnar nerve demonstrates that the sensory and intrinsic hand motor fibers are superficial and are therefore more predisposed to entrapment than the motor fibers of the flexor carpi ulnaris and FDP (Sunderland, 1945).

In the ulnary nerve, the sensory and intrinsic hand motor fibres are superficial (meaning, closer to the surface).

Therefore, they are more susceptible to being entraped than the other motor fibers of the flexor capri ulnaris (a muscle on the forearm) and FDP (the muscle that connect the 4 fingers to the FCU)

so basically if the ulnar nerve gets trapped at elbow it'll only effect the hand motor fibres

the effects of the entrapment are not explained in the small quote you posted.

it just say the ulnar nerve's sensory and intrinsic motor fibers are more susceptible to being entrapped than the other muscles' motor fibres.

I'm not a med student btw. this was just reading comprehension.
