   Extractions: Nerve compression problems behind the elbow are called cubital tunnel syndrome. The ulnar nerve passes through the cubital tunnel which is a bony passageway. When you "hit your funny bone" and have tingling in the small and ring fingers, you are hitting the ulnar nerve at the cubital tunnel. The tunnel has a bone passageway on both sides and the base. A ligament holds the nerve into the tunnel by crossing from one bone to the other. The ulnar nerve controls muscles used for gripping, primarily of the little, ring, and sometimes middle fingers. It also controls muscles in the hand used for strong pinch, and other muscles that coordinate fine movements. This includes most of the muscles in the hand except two muscles that lift the thumb up and out of your palm, turning the thumb into a better position for pinching. The ulnar nerve also receives feeling from the small and ring fingers from both the palm and backside of your hand.

   Extractions: Cubital Tunnel Syndrome What is cubital tunnel? C ubital tunnel is behind your "funny bone" on the inside of your elbow. Behind the funny bone (medial epicondyle), the tunnel is formed by the bone surrounded by muscles and ligaments. The ulnar nerve passes through the cubital tunnel on its way from the arm to the forearm and hand. What is a syndrome? A syndrome is a combination of symptoms and physical findings that characterizes a certain disease. What is cubital tunnel syndrome? C ubital tunnel syndrome is pressure on the ulnar nerve behind the funny bone causing numbness and tingling in the ring and small fingers of the hand. I n normal subjects, bending the elbow causes the nerve to stretch several millimeters. When this is done repeatedly for activities that require repeated bending and straightening of the elbow in the workplace, the nerve becomes irritated and inflamed. In other patients, the nerve shifts and actually snap over the prominence of the medial epicondyle. This snapping motion stretches and irritates the nerve. Leaning on the elbow, or resting the elbow on an elbow rest during a long distance drive or running machinery may cause repetitive pressure and irritation on the nerve. A direct hit on the tunnel may damage the ulnar nerve. Early signs are numbness on the inside of the hand and in the ring and little fingers. Later there is weakness of the hand. There may be pain at the elbow. Tapping on the nerve as it passes through the cubital tunnel causes tingling or electric shock sensation down to the small finger.

   Extractions: Cubitus is Latin for elbow. The cubital tunnel is an anatomic passageway between the bony prominence of the inside of the elbow (medial epicondyle) and the tip of the elbow (olecranon process). Through this passageway travels the ulnar nerve as it crosses behind the elbow. To keep the nerve from displacing with motion of the elbow, the tunnel is completed by a covering of tissue called fascia. There is an entrance to the tunnel formed by the medial intermuscular septum and another covering layer of fascia called the arcade of Struthers. The exit of the tunnel is created by the two muscle origins of the flexor carpi ulnaris. Cubital tunnel syndrome occurs when there is compression or injury of the ulnar nerve in the cubital tunnel. Although shielded from injury from the sides by the medial epicondyle and olecranon, the ulnar nerve is only superficially covered by a soft tissue between these bony prominences. In most individuals, the ulnar nerve is easily felt about the cubital tunnel. Anyone who has ever struck their "funny bone" knows how easily the ulnar nerve may be affected by direct injury. Your Indiana Hand Center physician will be able to demonstrate the anatomy to you on your own elbow.

   Extractions: Same image as above, but without the body . This image is labeled. Beginning at the side of the neck, the ulnar nerve (above) 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 (below). The nerve ends (right) 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. The picture at right is also available without muscles 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 (.flc aniamtion) causing irritation.

   Extractions: Cubital tunnel syndrome is a pinched nerve at the elbow commonly known as the "funny bone". This might be caused by trauma or repetitive use of the elbow and may be caused by continuous use of the elbow in a flexed position. This causes the nerve to become stretched and irritated as opposed to when the arm is extended and the nerve is in a relaxed position. The diagnosis can be confirmed with electrodiagnostic testing including nerve conduction velocity and the electromyogram. Nerve conduction velocity studies, the speed of the nerve across the elbow, will be slowed when there is nerve compression and electromyogram studies, the innervation of the muscles, might be affected by the pinched nerve. For this problem there are three modes of treatment; no treatment, conservative, and surgical. Unfortunately with conservative treatment, only splinting with the arm in an extended position has been found to be helpful. Night time splinting is achieved with a custom made long arm splint that the patient will wear at night time and as often as possible during the day. Unfortunately it is cumbersome to keep the arm out straight all the time and therefore this is usually used only at night. If the patient has persistent complaints despite conservative treatment surgery would be recommended. There are three types of procedures, one is to cut the medial epicondyle which is the bone pinching the nerve or the other two operations are to actually move the nerve out of the cubital tunnel either above or below the muscles of the forearm. This can be performed as an outpatient procedure with an axillary block where only the arm is put to sleep and it has a high success rate.

The funny bone is actually the ulnar nerve on the inside of the elbow that runs in a passage called the cubital tunnel! Sometimes this area becomes irritated from repeated injury or pressure, leading to a condition called cubital tunnel syndrome. The ulnar nerve actually starts at the side of the neck, where the individual nerve roots exit the spine through small openings between the vertebra called foramen . The nerve roots then join together to form three main nerves that travel down the arm to the hand. The ulnar nerve is one of those nerves. After leaving the side of the neck, the ulnar nerve then 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

   Extractions: O n the palm, the ulnar nerve passes under a ligament between two small wrist bones, the pisiform and hamate. The tunnel formed by the bones and ligaments is called Guyon's canal. The Ulnar Nerve supplies sensation to the little finger and half of the ring finger. It is critical that the area of compression be localized to either the wrist (Guyon's canal), or the elbow (cubital tunnel), or the neck (thoracic outlet syndrome, cervical radiculopathy) by physical examination and electrical studies prior to embarking on a treatment. All three may cause numbness and tingling in the same ring and small fingers. What is a syndrome?

    Extractions: Cubital Tunnel Syndrome in Guitarists by Timothy J. Jameson, D.C., C.C.S.P. A common problem among both acoustic and electric guitar players is the development of left forearm pain. This column will expand upon a specific type of injury, cubital tunnel syndrome, which affects mostly the inner side of the forearm and the pinky side of the hand. This syndrome is probably not familiar to most guitarists, so I'll discuss the typical pain patterns associated with it. Cubital Tunnel Syndrome begins with pain in the elbow area, along the inner side of the forearm. The pain can travel downwards towards the pinky, and can be accompanied by tingling or numbness sensations to the pinky side of the hand. The forearm muscles can be painful, and can lead to a misdiagnosis of tendonitis by an inexperienced doctor. This syndrome will usually only involve the ring and pinky fingers, since these fingers receive their nerve supply from the ulnar nerve . If the syndrome progresses, it can cause decreased function of the hand, especially grip strength. Wasting or atrophy of the pad of muscles on the palm side below the pinky finger can develop as well. Typically, the person notices that flexing the forearm tends to irritate the symptoms. The culprit in this syndrome is compression of the ulnar nerve. Just south of the elbow, the nerve passes through the

Cubital tunnel syndrome is the effect of pressure on the ulnar nerve , one of the main nerves of the hand. It can result in a variety of problems, including pain, swelling, weakness or clumsiness of the hand and tingling or numbness of the ring and small fingers. It also often results in elbow pain on the side of the arm next to the chest. What caused it? Like a telephone cable, the ulnar nerve is a connection between the spinal cord and muscles of the forearm and hand as well as the skin on the pinkie side of the hand. The ulnar nerve passes across the back of the elbow, behind a bump on the inner side of the upper arm bone. This bump is called the medial epicondyle. The "funny bone" is actually the corner of the nerve as makes the bend around the elbow. Hitting the elbow at this spot tickles the nerve and gives a brief feeling of a shock or tingling. When the elbow is bent, the nerve may be stretched and push against the bony bump.

    Extractions: (advertisement) Synonyms, Key Words, and Related Terms: compressed ulnar nerve, ulnar nerve compression, ulnar nerve neuropathy at the elbow, numb finger, compressive neuropathy History of the Procedure: Feindel and Stratford first used the term cubital tunnel. They emphasized that the ulnar nerve is compressed at the elbow because of anatomic peculiarities to that region. In 1898, Curtis performed the first published case of management for ulnar nerve neuropathy at the elbow, which consisted of a subcutaneous anterior transposition. Problem: Affected patients often experience numbness and tingling along the little finger and the ulnar half of the ring finger. This discomfort often is accompanied by weakness of grip and rarely by intrinsic wasting. Frequency: The elbow is the most common site of compression of the ulnar nerve. Cubital tunnel syndrome is the second most common compressive neuropathy (after carpal tunnel syndrome). Cubital tunnel syndrome affects men 3-8 times as often as women. Etiology: Cubital tunnel syndrome may be caused by constricting fascial bands, subluxation of the ulnar nerve over the medial epicondyle, cubitus valgus, bony spurs, hypertrophied synovium, tumors, ganglia, or direct compression. Work may aggravate cubital tunnel syndrome secondary to repetitive elbow flexion and extension. Certain occupations are associated with the development of cubital tunnel syndrome; however, a definite relationship with occupational activities is not well defined.

    Extractions: 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: 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?

    http://www.dynomed.com/encyclopedia/encyclopedia/elbow_and_forearm/Cubital_Tunne
    
    Extractions: The ulnar nerve, along with the radial and median nerves, is one of the three major nerves of the arm.  It supplies sensation to most of the hand muscles, as well as to much of the forearm.  If there is pressure on the ulnar nerve as it passes through the cubital tunnel, a bony passageway along the inside of the elbow, there will be sensory and motor changes in the hand. Entrapment of the ulnar nerve is also known as cubital tunnel syndrome .  If you “hit your funny bone” and have a tingling sensation in the small and ring fingers, you have hit the ulnar nerve as it is pulled into the bony groove of the cubital tunnel.  With cubital tunnel syndrome there is pressure on the ulnar nerve each time the elbow is bent, reducing the supply of blood to the nerve.  This causes damage to the nerve over time. There are three long bones in the arm: the humerus, or upper arm, and the ulna and radius, the two bones of the lower arm. The bone on the little finger side of the forearm is the ulna, and the bone on the thumb side of the forearm is the radius.  The elbow joint is a hinge joint formed by the end of the humerus and the end of the ulna, the larger bone. The ulna is smaller at the wrist, and widens quite a bit towards the elbow.  Multiple ligaments attach these bones together at the elbow, allowing the joint to bend like a hinge.
