PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to provide a thorough understanding of the anatomy of the cubital tunnel and to outline specific anatomical parameters of the cubital tunnel retinaculum (CuTR) that might aid in the management of ulnar nerve problems. The hypotheses of this study are (1) that the nerve elongates with elbow flexion and (2) that the cross-sectional area of the cubital tunnel i...

In this paper the laminar flow in the rectangular channel bends is simulated using numerical techniques. The turning angle of the channel bend and the area ratio of the channel cross-section are two important parameters to be examined. For flow simulation, the body fitted 3-D continuity and momentum equations are used and a body fitted general purpose code is developed. The existing results of ...

We have designed and fabricated a novel 90 bend in a photonic crystal waveguide. The design was obtained using topology optimization and the fabricated waveguide displays a bend loss for transverse-electric-polarized light of less than 1 dB per bend in a 200-nm wavelength range.

Repetitive valgus stress of the elbow can result in excessive strain or rupture of the native medial ulnar collateral ligament (MUCL). The flexor-pronator mass (FPM) may be particularly important for elbow valgus stability in overhead-throwing athletes. The aim of this study was to identify the relative contribution of each muscle of the FPM--that is, the flexor carpi ulnaris (FCU), flexor digi...

Radial artery is one of the terminal branches of the brachial artery arising in the cubital fossa; the other being the ulnar artery. Radial artery usually begins in the cubital fossa about 1 cm below the bend of the elbow at the level of the neck of the radius just medial to the tendon of biceps brachii muscle, and terminates in the hand by forming the deep palmar arch after anastomosing with t...
