of Brooklyn and Staten Island "Failure is not an option" Cubital Tunnel Syndrome What is cubital tunnel? C ubital tunnel is behind your "funny bone" on the inside of your elbow. Behind the funny bone (medial epicondyle), the tunnel is formed by the bone surrounded by muscles and ligaments. The ulnar nerve passes through the cubital tunnel on its way from the arm to the forearm and hand. What is a syndrome? A syndrome is a combination of symptoms and physical findings that characterizes a certain disease. What is cubital tunnel syndrome? C ubital tunnel syndrome is pressure on the ulnar nerve behind the funny bone causing numbness and tingling in the ring and small fingers of the hand. What Causes Cubital Tunnel Syndrome? I n normal subjects, bending the elbow causes the nerve to stretch several millimeters. When this is done repeatedly for activities that require repeated bending and straightening of the elbow in the workplace, the nerve becomes irritated and inflamed. In other patients, the nerve shifts and actually snap over the prominence of the medial epicondyle. This snapping motion stretches and irritates the nerve. Leaning on the elbow, or resting the elbow on an elbow rest during a long distance drive or running machinery may cause repetitive pressure and irritation on the nerve. A direct hit on the tunnel may damage the ulnar nerve. Symptoms Early signs are numbness on the inside of the hand and in the ring and little fingers. Later there is weakness of the hand. There may be pain at the elbow. Tapping on the nerve as it passes through the cubital tunnel causes tingling or electric shock sensation down to the small finger.

The ulnar nerve passes through the cubital tunnel which is a bony passageway. When you "hit your funny bone" and have tingling in the small and ring fingers, you are hitting the ulnar nerve at the cubital tunnel. The tunnel has a bone passageway on both sides and the base. A ligament holds the nerve into the tunnel by crossing from one bone to the other. The ulnar nerve controls muscles used for gripping, primarily of the little, ring, and sometimes middle fingers. It also controls muscles in the hand used for strong pinch, and other muscles that coordinate fine movements. This includes most of the muscles in the hand except two muscles that lift the thumb up and out of your palm, turning the thumb into a better position for pinching. The ulnar nerve also receives feeling from the small and ring fingers from both the palm and backside of your hand.

Treatment Introduction Cubital tunnel syndrome is a condition that affects the ulnar nerve where it crosses the elbow. The symptoms are very similar to the pain that comes from hitting your funny bone . The funny bone is actually the ulnar nerve on the inside of the elbow that runs in a passage called the cubital tunnel! Sometimes this area becomes irritated from repeated injury or pressure, leading to a condition called cubital tunnel syndrome.

Cubital Tunnel Syndrome in Guitarists by Timothy J. Jameson, D.C., C.C.S.P. A common problem among both acoustic and electric guitar players is the development of left forearm pain. This column will expand upon a specific type of injury, cubital tunnel syndrome, which affects mostly the inner side of the forearm and the pinky side of the hand. This syndrome is probably not familiar to most guitarists, so I'll discuss the typical pain patterns associated with it. Cubital Tunnel Syndrome begins with pain in the elbow area, along the inner side of the forearm. The pain can travel downwards towards the pinky, and can be accompanied by tingling or numbness sensations to the pinky side of the hand. The forearm muscles can be painful, and can lead to a misdiagnosis of tendonitis by an inexperienced doctor. This syndrome will usually only involve the ring and pinky fingers, since these fingers receive their nerve supply from the ulnar nerve . If the syndrome progresses, it can cause decreased function of the hand, especially grip strength. Wasting or atrophy of the pad of muscles on the palm side below the pinky finger can develop as well. Typically, the person notices that flexing the forearm tends to irritate the symptoms. The culprit in this syndrome is compression of the ulnar nerve. Just south of the elbow, the nerve passes through the

Cubital tunnel syndrome is the effect of pressure on the ulnar nerve , one of the main nerves of the hand. It can result in a variety of problems, including pain, swelling, weakness or clumsiness of the hand and tingling or numbness of the ring and small fingers. It also often results in elbow pain on the side of the arm next to the chest. What caused it? Like a telephone cable, the ulnar nerve is a connection between the spinal cord and muscles of the forearm and hand as well as the skin on the pinkie side of the hand. The ulnar nerve passes across the back of the elbow, behind a bump on the inner side of the upper arm bone. This bump is called the medial epicondyle. The "funny bone" is actually the corner of the nerve as makes the bend around the elbow. Hitting the elbow at this spot tickles the nerve and gives a brief feeling of a shock or tingling. When the elbow is bent, the nerve may be stretched and push against the bony bump.

6. SCOI Presents Cubital Tunnel Syndrome About SCOI, cubital tunnel syndrome is a pinched nerve at the elbowcommonly known as the funny bone . This might be caused by trauma http://www.scoi.com/cubital.htm

Cubital tunnel syndrome is a pinched nerve at the elbow commonly known as the "funny bone". This might be caused by trauma or repetitive use of the elbow and may be caused by continuous use of the elbow in a flexed position. This causes the nerve to become stretched and irritated as opposed to when the arm is extended and the nerve is in a relaxed position. The diagnosis can be confirmed with electrodiagnostic testing including nerve conduction velocity and the electromyogram. Nerve conduction velocity studies, the speed of the nerve across the elbow, will be slowed when there is nerve compression and electromyogram studies, the innervation of the muscles, might be affected by the pinched nerve. For this problem there are three modes of treatment; no treatment, conservative, and surgical. Unfortunately with conservative treatment, only splinting with the arm in an extended position has been found to be helpful. Night time splinting is achieved with a custom made long arm splint that the patient will wear at night time and as often as possible during the day. Unfortunately it is cumbersome to keep the arm out straight all the time and therefore this is usually used only at night. If the patient has persistent complaints despite conservative treatment surgery would be recommended. There are three types of procedures, one is to cut the medial epicondyle which is the bone pinching the nerve or the other two operations are to actually move the nerve out of the cubital tunnel either above or below the muscles of the forearm. This can be performed as an outpatient procedure with an axillary block where only the arm is put to sleep and it has a high success rate.

of Brooklyn and Staten Island "Failure is not an option" What is Guyon's Canal? O n the palm, the ulnar nerve passes under a ligament between two small wrist bones, the pisiform and hamate. The tunnel formed by the bones and ligaments is called Guyon's canal. The Ulnar Nerve supplies sensation to the little finger and half of the ring finger. It is critical that the area of compression be localized to either the wrist (Guyon's canal), or the elbow (cubital tunnel), or the neck (thoracic outlet syndrome, cervical radiculopathy) by physical examination and electrical studies prior to embarking on a treatment. All three may cause numbness and tingling in the same ring and small fingers. What is a syndrome? A syndrome is a set of symptoms and physical findings that point to a certain diagnosis. All the symptoms and physical findings are not always present. Various symptoms and physical findings may be present in different grades of severity. What is Guyon's Canal syndrome?

cubital tunnel syndrome This article submitted by on 9/23/96. Author's Email: I have a procedure called anterior transposition of the ulnar nerve at the elbow scheduled. I am told the diagnosis is Cubital Tunnel Syndrome. I have tried to find information about the diagnosis and the treatment. There is more than enough written about Carpal Tunnel but not much on Cubital. Is surgery my only option? I have no idea what may have caused this. I am a "stay at home" mom. I have had a nerve conduction velocity test and was told the nerve is completely blocked at the elbow. I would like to know if this surgery is necessary, what is the likelihood I will regain feeling and strength in my 4th and 5th digits. Will the degeneration increase? Since I don't know what caused this, is a more conservative form of treatment even possible? I was referred to an orthopedic surgeon. I would appreciate any information about this condition.

(advertisement) Excerpt from Cubital Tunnel Syndrome Synonyms, Key Words, and Related Terms: compressed ulnar nerve, ulnar nerve compression, ulnar nerve neuropathy at the elbow, numb finger, compressive neuropathy Please click here to view the full topic text: Cubital Tunnel Syndrome History of the Procedure: Feindel and Stratford first used the term cubital tunnel. They emphasized that the ulnar nerve is compressed at the elbow because of anatomic peculiarities to that region. In 1898, Curtis performed the first published case of management for ulnar nerve neuropathy at the elbow, which consisted of a subcutaneous anterior transposition. Problem: Affected patients often experience numbness and tingling along the little finger and the ulnar half of the ring finger. This discomfort often is accompanied by weakness of grip and rarely by intrinsic wasting. Frequency: The elbow is the most common site of compression of the ulnar nerve. Cubital tunnel syndrome is the second most common compressive neuropathy (after carpal tunnel syndrome). Cubital tunnel syndrome affects men 3-8 times as often as women. Etiology: Cubital tunnel syndrome may be caused by constricting fascial bands, subluxation of the ulnar nerve over the medial epicondyle, cubitus valgus, bony spurs, hypertrophied synovium, tumors, ganglia, or direct compression. Work may aggravate cubital tunnel syndrome secondary to repetitive elbow flexion and extension. Certain occupations are associated with the development of cubital tunnel syndrome; however, a definite relationship with occupational activities is not well defined.

Artificial Hip Replacement What is cubital tunnel syndrome? Cubital tunnel syndrome feels similar to the pain that occurs from hitting the "funny" bone in your elbow. The "funny" bone in the elbow is actually the ulnar nerve, a nerve that crosses the elbow (the ulnar nerve begins in the side of the neck and ends in the fingers). What causes cubital tunnel syndrome? Cubital tunnel syndrome occurs when the ulnar nerve, which passes through the cubital tunnel (a tunnel of muscle, ligament, and bone) on the inside of the elbow, becomes irritated due to injury or pressure. The condition may occur when a person frequently bends the elbows (such as when pulling, reaching, or lifting), constantly leans on the elbow, or sustains a direct injury to the area. What are the symptoms of cubital tunnel syndrome? The following are the most common symptoms of cubital tunnel syndrome. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
