Sonographic diagnosis of recurrent ulnar nerve compression by ganglion cysts.
Lesions of the ulnar nerve are the most common causes of paralysis of a peripheral nerve.1,2 The cubital tunnel (or sulcus ulnaris) syndrome is the second most frequent compression syndrome of the upper extremities after the carpal tunnel syndrome.3,4 We report our findings in a patient who suffered from cubital tunnel syndrome and underwent subcutaneous anterior transposition, a surgical proce...
متن کاملPeripheral compression lesions of the ulnar nerve.
ANATOMY The anatomical course of the ulnar nerve renders it particularly vulnerable at the elbow and at the wrist. At both sites the nerve or its terminal branches pass through narrow canals in which small space-occupying lesions may exert pressure. As the nerve crosses the elbow it passes from the extensor aspect of the arm into the flexor mass of the forearm, running between the two heads of ...
متن کاملAnterior subcutaneous transposition of the ulnar nerve.
Anterior, subcutaneous ulnar nerve transposition decompresses the ulnar nerve and, by transposing anterior to the medial epicondyle, eliminates longitudinal traction forces applied to the nerve during elbow flexion. This article reviews the indications and contraindications of the technique and describes the surgical technique in detail.
متن کاملThe role of ulnar nerve transposition in ulnar nerve repair: a cadaver study.
Ulnar nerve transposition at the elbow is recommended to diminish nerve gaps during neurorrhaphy. We undertook a cadaver study to determine the gap distance that can be overcome by subcutaneous transposition at the elbow, evaluating lacerations 2.0 cm distal to the medial epicondyle and 2.0 cm proximal to the wrist crease. With a 100-g load on each nerve stump, gaps that could be overcome were ...
متن کاملElectroneurography of the ulnar nerve in dogs
Electroneurography as one of the electrodiagnostic techniques is used to measure the speed of action potential which is propagated down the nerve after stimulation. It gives information about normal functioning of the peripheral nerves. The aim of this study was to evaluate the applicability of a new electroneurographic technique by performing motor nerve conduction velocity measurements in the...
