The cubital tunnel in ulnar entrapment neuropathy.

摘要: Anteroposterior radiographs of the fully flexed and slightly externally rotated elbow were obtained in 122 cases cubital tunnel syndrome (CUTS) 33 normal elbows. Medial trochlear lip osteophytes not found studies elbows but noted 20% ulnar nerve entrapment cases. incongruity between trochlea olecranon greater than or equal to 5 mm was 29% CUTS 6% The presence posttraumatic elbow-joint deformities seen on correlated significantly with degree clinical involvement. Depth area measurements compression, performed using a line-art representation radiographs, showed significant (P less .0001) correlation decrease innervated muscle atrophy. These findings confirm importance this both osteoarthritis medial structures joint.
