No:51, 34245 Gaziosmanpaşa/Istanbul PHONE NUMBER: 0532-172-71-44 CUBITAL TUNNEL SYNDROME Cubital tunnel syndrome is a condition in which the ulnar nerve, one of the three main nerves of the hand, is compressed or pressured, causing problems such as pain, swelling, numbness, and loss of strength. The nerve passes between two bony prominences in our elbow, passing between the two origins of the flexor carpi ulnaris muscle, which flexes our wrist. Because the nerve is very superficial in this area, it is vulnerable to compression and trauma. When we bend our elbows, the ulnar nerve is stretched and compressed against the bony prominence called the medial epicondyle. Cubital tunnel syndrome is more likely to develop in people who spend long periods in this position, such as those who sleep with their hand under their head (elbow bent) or those who constantly lean on their elbow while working. The connective tissue sheath surrounding the nerve thickens in response to the constant trauma. As the quality of nerve fiber conduction between the thickened connective tissue deteriorates, symptoms of the syndrome appear. Symptoms of cubital tunnel syndrome include pain, weakness, numbness, especially in the fourth and fifth fingers, and a sensation of an electric shock in the hand, even after minor impacts to the nerve at the elbow level (Figure 2). In advanced stages, difficulty in bringing the fingers together, and the 4th and 5th fingers may curl backward when trying to straighten the hand, are observed. Diagnosis is made by identifying the above findings during a physical examination and by using EMG (electromyography) and nerve conduction testing performed by neurologists. In early cases, the patient is first instructed in the positions where the nerve is stretched and which produce these symptoms, to minimize trauma to the nerve. In some cases, splints that keep the elbow straighter can help alleviate symptoms. For long-term and advanced cases, surgery is necessary. Surgery usually involves numbing only the arm (axillary block anesthesia). The ulnar nerve is removed from between the two prominent bones of the elbow and relocated to the front of the elbow. The numbness and electric sensations may take several weeks to months to subside. Some patients also require physiotherapy after surgery.
