Cubital Tunnel Syndrome: Current Concepts [PDF]
Current Reviews in Musculoskeletal Medicine, 2020 Compressive neuropathy of the ulnar nerve across the elbow is a common diagnosis encountered frequently within a hand and upper extremity clinical practice. Appropriate and timely evaluation, diagnosis, objective testing, and evidence-based decisions regarding treatment options are paramount in the optimal care of the patient with this pathology.

Where Does Ultrasound Fit in the Diagnostic Algorithm for Cubital Tunnel Syndrome? [PDF]
Hand (N Y), 2023 BACKGROUND Ultrasound (US) has emerged as a promising supplement to electrodiagnostic studies (EDX) in the diagnosis of cubital tunnel syndrome (CuTS) and has potential to be performed by novice operators. Our objective is to understand the discrepancies

Computerized adaptive testing for the patient evaluation measure (PEM) in patients undergoing cubital tunnel syndrome surgery. [PDF]
J Hand Surg Eur Vol, 2023 In outcome measures, item response theory (IRT) validation can deliver interval-scaled high-quality measurement that can be harnessed using computerized adaptive tests (CATs) to pose fewer questions to patients. We aimed to develop a CAT by developing an

Validity of computed tomographic measurements and morphological comparison of cubital tunnel in idiopathic cubital tunnel syndrome [PDF]
BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2020 Background Ulnar neuropathy is a common reason for referral to hand surgeons, and 10 to 30% of cubital tunnel syndrome (CuTS) is idiopathic. We hypothesized that the cause of idiopathic CuTS is in the bony structure.

Ultrasound Assessment of the Ulnar Nerve Around the Elbow and Diagnosis of Cubital Tunnel Syndrome, Clinical Outcomes. [PDF]
Hand (N Y), 2023 BACKGROUND There is increased interest in ultrasound (US) for the diagnosis of cubital tunnel syndrome (CuTS). We hypothesize that ulnar nerve cross-sectional area (CSA) correlates with disease severity and electrodiagnostic studies (EDX).

The Prevalence of Cubital Tunnel Syndrome: A Cross-Sectional Study in a U.S. Metropolitan Cohort [PDF]
Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery - Series A, 2017 BACKGROUND: Although cubital tunnel syndrome is the second most common peripheral mononeuropathy (after carpal tunnel syndrome) encountered in clinical practice, its prevalence in the population is unknown. The objective of this study was to evaluate the
