The electrodiagnosis of ulnar nerve entrapment at the elbow.
Entrapment of the ulnar nerve at the elbow is the second most common focal peripheral neuropathy. Recent advances have facilitated the electrodiagnosis of this common nerve entrapment. The goals of electrodiagnosis are to localize ulnar nerve dysfunction, confirm that the disturbance is confined to the ulnar nerve, and assess the severity of ulnar nerve dysfunction. The goal of this review is t...

common form of entrapment neuropathy after carpal tunnel syndrome.1 Symptoms which patients report include aching pain on the medial aspect of the elbow, forearm and hand, as well as numbness, tingling, hyperesthesia, or weakness in the distribution of the ulnar nerve (see Norkus and Meyers1 for a more detailed description). Diagnosis rests on clinical findings, confirmed by electrodiagnostic c...
متن کاملExtended effective electrodiagnosis in ulnar nerve entrapment at the elbow
Background: This study aimed to explore the value of extended motor nerve conduction studies in patients with ulnar nerve entrapment at the elbow (UNE) in order to find the most sensitive and least time-consuming method. We wanted to evaluate the utility of examining both the sensory branch from the fifth finger and the dorsal branch of the ulnar nerve. Further we intended to study the clinical...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the different localizing electrodiagnostic techniques of ulnar nerve entrapment at the elbow (UNE), particularly, comparison of the sensitivities of long segment stimulation across the elbow, versus short segment stimulation. METHODS Patients who were referred to the Neurophysiology Laboratory of Haydarpasa Numune Training and Research Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey between ...
متن کاملSimple decompression of the ulnar nerve at the elbow via proximal and distal mini skin incisions.
The purpose of the present study was to describe a new minimally invasive surgical technique for decompression of the ulnar nerve at the elbow for treatment of cubital tunnel syndrome. Four patients underwent surgical treatment for cubital tunnel syndrome. Preoperative clinical states were classified by using the McGowan grading system and the postoperative states were recorded by using the Wil...
