2. Ulnar neuropathy at the elbow - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulnar_neuropathy_at_the_elbow

   Ulnar neuropathy at the cubital tunnel is diagnosed based on characteristic symptoms and signs. Intermittent or static numbness in the small finger and ulnar half of the ring finger, weakness or atrophy of the first dorsal interosseous, positive Tinel sign over the ulnar nerve proximal to the cubital tunnel, and positive elbow flexion test (elicitation of paresthesia in the small and ring ...

3. Cubital tunnel syndrome - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubital_tunnel_syndrome

   Cubital tunnel syndrome is an ulnar neuropathy that can be caused not only by compression at the cubital tunnel level itself, but can also be caused by movement of the elbow. [1] The volume of the cubital tunnel may be reduced when being moved from full extension to a lesser degree of flexion. Symptoms may include a claw hand. [4]

   Other options to surgery are a cortisone injection, and use of a splint, to secure the elbow, a conservative procedure endorsed by some. In cases where surgery is needed, cubital tunnel release, where the ligament of the cubital tunnel is cut, thereby alleviating pressure on nerve can be performed. [9] [13] [14]

   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 elbow is the region between the upper arm and the forearm that surrounds the elbow joint. [1] The elbow includes prominent landmarks such as the olecranon , the cubital fossa (also called the chelidon, or the elbow pit), and the lateral and the medial epicondyles of the humerus .

7. Osborne's ligament - Wikipedia

   Type Ia: thin; lax when the elbow is extended and becomes taut when the elbow is flexed. Type Ib: thick; taut even when the elbow is not fully flexed (90°–120°). Under both definitions, Osborne's ligament forms the roof of the cubital tunnel, an opening between the muscles through which the ulnar nerve passes. [citation needed]
