Lesions of the ulnar nerve are the most common causes of paralysis of a peripheral nerve.1,2 The cubital tunnel (or sulcus ulnaris) syndrome is the second most frequent compression syndrome of the upper extremities after the carpal tunnel syndrome.3,4 We report our findings in a patient who suffered from cubital tunnel syndrome and underwent subcutaneous anterior transposition, a surgical proce...

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to assess the quality of evidence for the efficacy of tendon and nerve gliding exercises in the management of carpal tunnel syndrome. [Subjects and Methods] Four electronic databases were searched to identify randomized controlled trials on the efficacy of tendon and nerve gliding exercises for carpal tunnel syndrome. Quality assessment was conducted usin...

Background: Conservative management plays an important role in the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome. Non-surgical options include physical and occupational therapy, splints, steroid injections, yoga, carpal bone mobilization, and anti-inflammatory drugs. Clinical experience demonstrates that acupuncture should be considered among these treatments as it may provide symptomatic relief to patie...

The aim of the present study was to investigate a new clinical classification of cubital tunnel syndrome that provides an improved basis for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of the disease. Retrospective analysis was performed on 341 patients with cubital tunnel syndrome. Based on the etiology, signs and symptoms, neurophysiological tests and computed tomography (CT) imaging, a new clinical...

Diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome is based on clinical findings and electrodiagnostic findings are used to confirm the diagnosis. On the other hand, sonography has enjoyed attention as a noninvasive method for diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome. 76 hands of patients in whom the diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome was confirmed and 80 hands in the control group were enrolled in the study. In ...

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. Electro diagnostic studies are a valid and reliable means of confirming the diagnosis.

Trigger finger at wrist is a rare condition. Symptoms include finger triggering, snapping or catching at the wrist level. Carpal tunnel syndrome and median nerve compression neuropathy are almost always associated. We reported one case which was caused by degenerative changes of the flexor tendon sheath and carpal tunnel syndrome.
