Description: Compression of the ULNAR NERVE in the cubital tunnel, which is formed by the two heads of the flexor carpi ulnaris muscle, humeral-ulnar aponeurosis, and medial ligaments of the elbow. This condition may follow trauma or occur in association with processes which produce nerve enlargement or narrowing of the canal. Manifestations include elbow pain and PARESTHESIA radiating distally, weakness of ulnar innervated intrinsic hand muscles, and loss of sensation over the hypothenar region, fifth finger, and ulnar aspect of the ring finger. (Joynt, Clinical Neurology, 1995, Ch51, p43)

Drugs and Biologics

Drugs and Important Biological Agents (IBA) related to Cubital Tunnel Syndrome:

1.	FlexorIBA 06/01/2004 - "V-Y lengthening of the flexor-pronator origin is an effective alternative to musculofascial lengthening in combination with submuscular transposition for treatment of cubital tunnel syndrome." 06/01/2004 - "Functional outcome after V-Y musculofascial lengthening of the flexor-pronator musculotendinous origin was assessed in conjunction with submuscular transposition of the ulnar nerve for cubital tunnel syndrome" 12/01/2001 - "Membranous tissue under the flexor carpi ulnaris muscle as a cause of cubital tunnel syndrome." 05/01/1996 - "Transposition of the nerve into a shallow muscular trough deep only to the flexor-pronator fascia is a logical, effective, and consistently reliable method of treating cubital tunnel syndrome refractory to conservative management." 09/01/1993 - "We evoked CMAP from the flexor carpi ulnaris (FCU) muscle to assess the value of electrophysiological examination of this muscle in the diagnosis of cubital tunnel syndrome" Order ALL the reference details at left...
2.	Calcium PyrophosphateIBA 03/01/2001 - "Cubital tunnel syndrome caused by tumoral deposition of calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystals: a case report." 09/01/1996 - "Nine patients (11 elbows) presented with cubital tunnel syndrome that was complicated by calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPPD) crystal deposition disease" 09/01/1996 - "Cubital tunnel syndrome associated with calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystal deposition disease." Order ALL the reference details at left...
3.	OxygenIBA 09/01/1999 - "This biomechanical consideration, as well as variations in anatomy, may potentially contribute to a decrease in the nerve's microcirculation and partial pressure of oxygen, leading to cubital tunnel syndrome" Order ALL the reference details at left...

5.	ADM protocolIBA 09/01/1993 - "In the electrodiagnosis of cubital tunnel syndrome, the abductor digiti minimi (ADM) muscle is frequently used to evoke compound muscle action potentials (CMAP) in order to measure the motor nerve conduction velocity (MNCV) in the ulnar nerve" Order ALL the reference details at left...

Therapies and Procedures

1.	Decompression 04/01/2004 - "Decompression is a minimally invasive procedure, but very effective for mild as well as for severe cases and therefore the optimal treatment in cubital tunnel syndrome." 11/01/2000 - "We therefore conclude that minimal medial epicondylectomy combined with ulnar nerve decompression is an effective treatment for cubital tunnel syndrome and that a larger excision of the medial epicondyle should be avoided." 09/01/2008 - "CONCLUSION: The method of decompression and anterior transposition of the ulnar nerve with inferior ulnar collateral artery is safe and effective for the treatment of cubital tunnel syndrome." 01/01/2004 - "CONCLUSION: Minimal medial epicondylectomy and decompression was found to be a safe and effective method with a low complication rate in the treatment of cubital tunnel syndrome." 12/01/2001 - "The results show that minimal medial epicondylectomy and in situ decompression of the ulnar nerve is a safe and effective method to treat patients with cubital tunnel syndrome" Order ALL the reference details at left...
2.	Traction 09/01/1999 - "Anterior transposition of the ulnar nerve at the elbow for cubital tunnel syndrome will eliminate natural as well as pathological traction and compression forces; the procedure relieves the nerve of potential microcirculation compromise" 11/01/1998 - "Cubital tunnel syndrome may be at least in part a traction neuropathy." 07/01/2001 - "Any factor that limits excursion at these sites could result in repetitive traction of the nerve and possibly play a role in the pathophysiology of cubital tunnel syndrome or ulnar neuropathy at Guyon's canal." Order ALL the reference details at left...
3.	Prostheses and Implants (Prosthesis) 01/01/1984 - "Surgery did not relieve symptoms of carpal tunnel and cubital tunnel syndromes for prosthesis users until the figure-8 harness was changed" Order ALL the reference details at left...

5.	X-Ray Film 09/01/1994 - "A diagnosis of DCS was based on the following criteria; 1) radiological evidence of CS or OPLL on X-ray films; 2) definite spinal cord compression on cervical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI); 3) neurological deficits in the upper extremities resulting from CS or OPLL; and 4) clinical and/or electrophysiological evidence of entrapment neuropathies in the upper extremities, namely carpal tunnel syndrome (CaTS), Guyon's tunnel syndrome (GTS), and/or cubital tunnel syndrome (CuTS)" Order ALL the reference details at left...
