My experience with cubital tunnel syndrome
Cubital tunnel syndrome can be defined as a compressive neuropathy of the ulnar nerve around the elbow from the arcade of Struthers to the flexor-pronator aponeurosis. However, this complex neuropathy is related not only with compressive force but also with tensile force caused by elongation of the ulnar nerve while flexing the elbow joint and with friction force caused by excursion of the nerv...
متن کامل[Carpal tunnel syndrome & cubital tunnel syndrome].
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and cubital tunnel syndrome (Cub.TS) are the two most common entrapment syndromes. Development of several validated outcome assessments have allowed conducting large scale epidemiological studies worldwide for the last decade regarding CTS, which have been providing reliable basic information. These studies have shown that CTS is more common than had been expected. ...
متن کاملOperative decisions for endoscopic treatment of cubital tunnel syndrome.
The authors review the relevant anatomy and provide technical tips for endoscopic decompression of the cubital tunnel. Cubital tunnel syndrome is the second most common nerve compression syndrome in the upper extremity. Until recently, surgeons focused on open decompression combined with submuscular or subcutaneous transposition of the nerve. Decompression was usually limited to the region of t...
متن کاملRecalcitrant cubital tunnel syndrome
Ulnar nerve neuropathy at the elbow represents the second most frequent compression neuropathy of the upper extremity. Of the five different anatomical areas responsible for ulnar nerve compression at the elbow region, the epitrochlear-olecranon channel and Osborne’s arcade are the most common. An additional cause of nerve damage is a dynamic process in which the ulnar nerve dislocates anterior...
متن کاملCubital Tunnel Syndrome
The ulnar nerve arises from the medial brachial plexus and innervates the muscles of the forearm and parts of the hand. It also carries sensory neurones supplying the skin of the back of the forearm, the palm and the ring and little fingers. Most damage to the ulnar nerve occurs at the elbow where it passes behind the medial epicondyle and under Osborne's ligament (humeroulnar aponeurotic arcad...
