Cubital Tunnel Syndrome - Hand Surgery Resource Podcast

In this episode of the Hand Surgery Resource Podcast, Dr. Larry Hurst shares more about Cubital Tunnel Syndrome.

Cubital tunnel syndrome is an upper extremity compression neuropathy represented by entrapment of the ulnar nerve at the level of the elbow. Initially, symptoms include pain in the medial aspect of the elbow and pain and paresthesias in the ring and small fingers. Patients complain of numbness, partiularly in the little finger. As the disease progresses, patients become increasingly clumsy and weak, with eventual constant numbness and atrophy of the unlnar intrinsic muscles of the hand. Cubital tunnel syndrome is the second most common compression neuropathy of the upper extremity after carpal tunnel syndrome.
