Cubital Tunnel Syndrome The funny bone is actually a nerve on the inside of the elbow that runs in a passage called the cubital tunnel! Sometimes this area becomes irritated, leading to a condition called cubital tunnel syndrome. Anatomy Beginning at the side of the neck, the ulnar nerve travels through the arm pit, down the arm to the hand and fingers. At the inner portion of the back of the elbow, the ulnar nerve passes through a tunnel of muscle, ligament and bone - the cubital tunnel . The nerve ends in the hand, supplying feeling to the pinky and half the ring finger. In addition, these nerves cause movement in the small muscles of the hand. Causes There are several possible causes of cubital tunnel syndrome. Frequent bending of the elbow such as pulling levers, reaching, or lifting are common sources of problems. Even anatomy may play a role. The ulnar nerve actually stretches several millimeters when the elbow is bent. Sometimes the nerve will shift or actually snap over the bony medial epicondyle causing irritation.

Cubital tunnel syndrome (aka ulnar neuritis) is compression of the ulnar nerve at the level of the elbow. The ulnar nerve is one of the two major nerves of the hand that provides sensation to the small finger and a portion of the ring finger. More importantly, the ulnar nerve controls many small muscles in the hand itself. These muscles are important in controlling fine movements of the hand and fingers. Q: What are the symptoms of Cubital Tunnel Syndrome? A: The symptoms of cubital tunnel syndrome may be vague, however commonly include numbness and tingling of the ring and small fingers, weakness of grip, a clumsy feeling in the hand as well as an aching feeling in the hand and elbow. Q: What causes Cubital Tunnel Syndrome? A: Cubital tunnel syndrome is caused by compression of the nerve behind the "funny bone" of the elbow. It is usually a combination of pulling and actual pressure on the nerve. Cubital tunnel syndrome may also be caused by old injuries to the elbow that leave the bones bent and the nerve stretched. Q: WHow is the diagnosis made?

The symptoms are very similar to the pain from hitting your funny bone. You are actually hitting the ulnar nerve on the inside of the elbow. The ulnar nerve runs through a passage called the cubital tunnel. When this area becomes irritated from injury or pressure, it can lead to cubital tunnel syndrome. Anatomy The ulnar nerve starts at the side of the neck, where the individual nerve roots leave the spine. The nerve roots exit through small openings between the vertebrae. These openings are called foramen. The nerve roots join together to form three main nerves that travel down the arm to the hand. One of these nerves is the ulnar nerve. The ulnar nerve passes through the cubital tunnel just behind the inside edge of the elbow. The tunnel is formed by muscle, ligament, and bone. You may be able to feel it if you straighten your arm out and rub the groove on the inside edge of your elbow. The ulnar nerve passes through the cubital tunnel and winds its way down the forearm and into the hand. It supplies feeling to the little finger and half the ring finger and controls the small muscles of the hand.

Back to Physician Literature CUBITAL TUNNEL SYNDROME AND THE PAINFUL UPPER EXTREMITY A. Marc Tetro, MD, FRCSC, and David R. Pichora, MD, FRCSC What is cubital tunnel syndrome? What is its relation to the painful upper extremity? What is its impact on the patient with a chronic pain syndrome? Cubital tunnel syndrome is the most common form of entrapment of the uInar nerve and the second most common nerve compression syndrome of the upper extremity. It classically presents with arm and hand pain and associated sensory and motor dysfunction, making it a common cause of upper-extremity pain. Prior to 1957, uInar neuropathy was felt to be a "stretch neuritis" caused by cubitus valgus. In fact, the predominant cause of ulnar neuropathy was secondary to elbow injuries. Osborne proposed the concept of compression of the uInar nerve in 1957, with Feindel and Stratford defining the "cubital tunnel" the following year. Since the advent of more successful orthopedic management of complex elbow injuries, the more frequent cause of ulnar nerve entrapment has become idiopathic or related to a "susceptible" patient . Nonetheless, it appears that uInar nerve entrapment is increasing in prevalence (although no data are available), with pain often being a predominant morbidity.

This is originally a Worker's Compensation claim. I worked for 1 year with a school district prior to driving to Ontario, Canada to take up my new position here. While working with the school district, 30-40% of my time was spent driving from school to school to administrate local area networks. I used to get a "going to sleep" or "tingling" feeling while driving, but it would leave after being out of my vehicle for 10 minutes or so. Upon arriving in Ontario driving from newfoundland a 22 hour drive, I acquired a permanent numbness in my left baby and ring finger and thus the surgery now.

Bibliography Introduction Cubital Tunnel Syndrome occurs with ulnar nerve entrapment as it crosses the elbow. Careful examination is required to differentiate this condition from nerve entrapment at the wrist - ulnar tunnel syndrome. Presentation Pain at the medial aspect of the elbow and proximal forearm Numbness along the distribution of the ulnar nerve Weakness in grip strength Incidence and Epidemiology This syndrome has been reported after surgery and is associated with use of a blood pressure cuff, tourniquet or with positioning; often in conjunction with a preexisting neuropathy. There is pain with elbow flexion/extension or with throwing activities. This is the most common site of ulnar nerve compression and the second most common site of peripheral nerve entrapment. Pathophysiology The ulnar nerve arises from the medial cord of the brachial plexus containing fibers from the C8 and T1 nerve roots. At its proximal aspect, the ulnar nerve lies medial to the axillary/brachial artery to the middle third of the humeral shaft. At this point, it passes through the intermuscular septum (arcade of Struthers) and along the medial head of the triceps muscle towards the ulnar groove (posterior to the medial epicondyle).

Other MPAmedia Alternative Health Site Links Acupuncture AcupunctureToday.com Massage Therapy MassageToday.com Neurology Brad McKechnie, DC, DACAN Cubital Tunnel Syndrome Part I Cubital tunnel syndrome is the second most common entrapment neuropathy of the upper extremity, with reports of problems related to ulnar compression at the elbow dating back more than 100 years.1 The cubital tunnel begins at the medial posterior condylar groove of the humerus at the point where the posterior condylar groove is spanned by the cubital tunnel retinaculum.2 The cubital tunnel retinaculum runs from the medial epicondyle of the humerus to the olecranon and is transversely oriented to the path of the nerve. The cubital tunnel retinaculum may be readily palpated by flexing the elbow and applying finger tip pressure along the path of the posterior condylar groove, because the retinaculum is tightened in flexion and relaxed in extension. The cubital tunnel continues distally, as the ulnar nerve passes between the two heads of the flexor carpi ulnaris muscle and enters the forearm. Most cases of cubital tunnel entrapment of the ulnar nerve occur between 1.5 centimeters and 3.5 centimeters distal to the medial epicondyle. The cubital tunnel's volume decreases with flexion of the elbow, thus increasing the pressure on the ulnar nerve with this position.3 Pressures greater than 100 mm Hg have been documented to occur with elbow flexion when the cubital tunnel retinaculum is artificially tightened. Paresthesia has been induced within 10 minutes in normal subjects when peripheral nerves are artificially subjected to 50 mm Hg of compression.4 Most cubital tunnel entrapment syndromes are primarily due to compression of the ulnar nerve from the narrowing of the cubital tunnel with flexion of the forearm.

Other MPAmedia Alternative Health Site Links Acupuncture AcupunctureToday.com Massage Therapy MassageToday.com Management of Cubital Tunnel Syndrome Probably the most common site for repeated trauma to the ulnar nerve is at the site located at the groove between the olecranon and the medial epicondyle of the humerus. This is the cubital tunnel. Within this tunnel, the ulnar nerve is held firmly against the bony floor of the tunnel by a strong, dense fascia, the arcuate ligament. At the 90 degrees of elbow flexion, this ligament is tightly stretched; while on extension, it is slightly relaxed. The medial ligament is located between the ulnar nerve and the bony floor of the tunnel. On flexion of the elbow, the medial ligament circumferentially enlarges (bulges) and may compress the ulnar nerve within the tunnel. Also, pronation of the arm complements the presence of pressure on the nerve. The ulnar nerve supplies the ulnar flexor muscle at the wrist and the deep flexor muscle of the fingers, and enters the hand to supply musculature of the hypothenar eminence, the thumb adductor, and the deep head of the thumb short flexor muscle. It also branches to the ulnar aspect of the dermatome to the hand.
