Cubital tunnel syndrome due to an elbow injury. Case report
Cubital tunnel syndrome is a symptomatic dysfunction of the ulnar nerve, resulting from compression of the nerve within the walls of the tunnel. This condition causes irreversible sensory disturbances, muscle weakness in the hand, trophic disorders, and ...

Changes in Ultrasound Measurements of the Ulnar Nerve at Different Elbow Joint Positions in Patients with Cubital Tunnel Syndrome. [PDF]
Ultrasound imaging (US) is increasingly being used in the diagnosis of entrapment neuropathies. The aim of the current study was to evaluate changes in stiffness (shear modulus), cross-sectional area (CSA), and trace length (TRACE) of the ulnar nerve in ...

Diagnosis of Cubital Tunnel Syndrome Using Deep Learning on Ultrasonographic Images. [PDF]
Although electromyography is the routine diagnostic method for cubital tunnel syndrome (CuTS), imaging diagnosis by measuring cross-sectional area (CSA) with ultrasonography (US) has also been attempted in recent years. In this study, deep learning (DL),

Evaluation of the ulnar nerve with shear-wave elastography: a potential sonographic method for the diagnosis of ulnar neuropathy [PDF]
Purpose This study was designed to verify whether shear-wave elastography (SWE) can be used to differentiate ulnar neuropathy at the cubital tunnel from asymptomatic ulnar nerve or medial epicondylitis.

Unusual presentation of multiple nerve entrapment: a case report [PDF]
Cubital tunnel syndrome is the most common form of ulnar nerve entrapment and the second most common entrapment neuropathy of the upper extremity after carpal tunnel syndrome. However, bilateral compressive ulnar neuropathy is a rare condition.

Location of Ulnar Nerve Branches to the Flexor Carpi Ulnaris during Surgery for Cubital Tunnel Syndrome. [PDF]
Objective Cubital tunnel syndrome, the most common ulnar nerve entrapment neuropathy, is usually managed by simple decompression or anterior transposition. One of the concerns in transposition is damage to the nerve branches around the elbow.

Morphological Changes of Medial Epicondyle-Olecranon Ligament and Ulnar Nerve in the Cubital Tunnel Syndrome: An Ultrasonic Study. [PDF]
Few studies have performed detailed ultrasound measurements of medial epicondyle‐olecranon (MEO) ligament that cause the entrapment of ulnar nerve. This study aims to comprehensively evaluate dynamic ultrasonographic characteristics of MEO ligament and ...
