Schematic diagram of the medial side of the elbow showing the ulnar nerve passing through the cubital tunnel. Chronic compression of the ulnar nerve in the cubital tunnel is known as cubital tunnel syndrome. [4] There are several sites of possible compression, traction or friction of the ulnar nerve as it courses behind the elbow. [5]

The artery runs medial to the biceps tendon. The brachial pulse may be palpated in the cubital fossa just medial to the tendon. The area just superficial to the cubital fossa is often used for venous access in procedures such as injections and obtaining samples for blood tests. A number of superficial veins can cross this region.
The medial epicondyle protects the ulnar nerve, which runs in a groove on the back of this epicondyle. The ulnar nerve is vulnerable because it passes close to the surface along the back of the bone. Striking the medial epicondyle causes a tingling sensation in the ulnar nerve. This response is known as striking the "funny bone". [1]

An epicondyle (/ ɛ p ɪ ˈ k ɒ n d aɪ l /) is a rounded eminence on a bone that lies upon a condyle (epi-, "upon" + condyle, from a root meaning "knuckle" or "rounded articular area"). There are various epicondyles in the human skeleton , each named by its anatomic site.
