Cubital Tunnel Syndrome

چکیده
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 arcade), through the cubital tunnel. [1]
