Simple decompression of the ulnar nerve for cubital tunnel syndrome.
OBJECTIVE Cubital tunnel syndrome is the second most common entrapment neuropathy of the upper extremity. Although many different operative techniques have been introduced, none of them have been proven superior to others. Simple cubital tunnel decompression has numerous advantages, including simplicity and safety. We present our experience of treating cubital tunnel syndrome with simple decomp...
متن کاملThe cubital tunnel and ulnar neuropathy.
The anatomy of the cubital tunnel and its relationship to ulnar nerve compression is not well documented. In 27 cadaver elbows the proximal edge of the roof of the cubital tunnel was formed by a fibrous band that we call the cubital tunnel retinaculum (CTR). The band is about 4 mm wide, extending from the medial epicondyle to the olecranon, and perpendicular to the flexor carpi ulnaris aponeuro...
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 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...
