We report a case of ulnar tunnel syndrome due to an anatomical variant branch of the ulnar artery. Anatomical variants can cause compression not visible on imaging and need to be considered for successful surgical decompression.

Introduction: Schwannoma is a type of slow growing benign nerve sheath tumor arising from Schwann cells. Peripherally, they are found in association with the ulnar, sciatic and posterior tibial nerves. Peripheral schwannomas, neurofibromas and malignant PNSTs are collectively grouped as peripheral nerve sheath tumors.

Introduction: There exist conflicting electrodiagnostic reports between diagnosing mild carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and normal results, depending on the interpretation methods used by electrodiagnosticians. This underscores the necessity for precise clinical guidelines. This study aims to assess how the variation between mild and normal electrophysiological reports impacts (1) subsequent clinical outcomes in patients diagnosed with CTS and (2) physicians' decision-making.

Introduction: Surgical treatment of ulnar tunnel syndrome is controversial, with no consensus on the ideal procedure. Nevertheless, in-situ decompression seems to provide faster recovery with less morbidity than neurolysis-transposition. The aim of this retrospective study was to validate a new percutaneous technique using ultrasonography.

Department of Hand and Foot Surgery, Shandong Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University, Jinan , China.
Background And Objectives: The unifying articular theory suggests that intraneural ganglion cysts in the cubital tunnel arise from the elbow joint and are connected to the ulnar nerve through an articular branch. This study aimed to report our clinical experience with these cysts and our surgical findings and outcomes.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 13 patients who underwent surgery for cubital tunnel syndrome caused by an intraneural ganglion cyst of the ulnar nerve.

Department of Hand & Foot and Reconstructive Microsurgery, The First Hospital of Qinhuangdao, 066000 Qinhuangdao, Hebei, China.
Aim: To explore the effectiveness and safety of Osborne's ligament suspension and ulnar nerve anterior transposition (OLSUNAT) in conjunction with transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) for managing cubital tunnel syndrome (CTS).
Methods: A total of 116 individuals diagnosed with CTS who underwent OLSUNAT in our hospital between October 2020 and December 2023 were retrospectively selected. They were divided into a treatment group (62 cases) and a control group (54 cases) based on whether they received subsequent TENS.
