Association of Ultrasound and Electrodiagnostic Studies in Patients Evaluated for Ulnar Neuropathy.
J Hand Surg Am
January 2025
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Duke University School of Medicine, Durham, NC. Electronic address:
Purpose: Our goal was to determine the association between the severity of electrodiagnostic (EDX) studies with the cross-sectional area (CSA) of the ulnar nerve at the cubital tunnel using diagnostic ultrasound. Based on our clinical experience, we hypothesized there would not be a positive correlation between the severity of EDX and ulnar nerve CSA.
Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of patients 18 years or older evaluated from May 1, 2020, to June 31, 2021, referred for an upper limb EDX and neuromuscular ultrasound to evaluate for an upper limb neuropathy.
Cubital Tunnel Syndrome Due to Intraneural Ganglion Cysts of the Ulnar Nerve With Joint-Cyst Connection at the Elbow.
Neurosurgery
November 2024
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.
Application of Osborne's Ligament Suspension and Ulnar Nerve Anterior Transposition in Conjunction with Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation for Managing Cubital Tunnel Syndrome: A Retrospective Study.
Ann Ital Chir
December 2024
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.
Long term functional outcome for the cubital tunnel syndrome after endoscopic assisted release of the ulnar nerve.
Arch Orthop Trauma Surg
December 2024
Hand Surgery, Vulpius Klinik, Vulpiusstraße 29, 74906, Bad Rappenau, Germany.
Introduction: The endoscopic assisted release for cubital tunnel syndrome (CuTS) gained popularity in recent years with unclear long-term results. This study aims to evaluate long term results regarding functional and subjective outcomes after endoscopic assisted release for the CuTS.
Materials And Methods: Thirty one patients who have been treated by endoscopic assisted release for CuTS between 2006 and 2013 were followed up both clinically and with a questionnaire with a mean follow up of 152 months (range 120-204 months).
Impact of Social Deprivation on Cubital Tunnel Syndrome Treatment Timeline.
J Hand Surg Glob Online
November 2024
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, University of Rochester Medical Center, Rochester, NY.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to establish the impact of area deprivation index (ADI) on treatment timelines of patients with cubital tunnel syndrome (CuTS). We hypothesize that increased social deprivation will correlate with increased time between care milestones from presentation to surgery.
Methods: This is a retrospective study of patients diagnosed with CuTS who underwent surgical intervention at a single academic institution.
