Cubital tunnel syndrome feels similar to the pain that occurs from hitting the "funny" bone in your elbow. The "funny" bone in the elbow is actually the ulnar nerve, a nerve that crosses the elbow (the ulnar nerve begins in the side of the neck and ends in the fingers). What causes cubital tunnel syndrome? Cubital tunnel syndrome occurs when the ulnar nerve, which passes through the cubital tunnel (a tunnel of muscle, ligament, and bone) on the inside of the elbow, becomes irritated due to injury or pressure. The condition may occur when a person frequently bends the elbows (such as when pulling, reaching, or lifting), constantly leans on the elbow, or sustains a direct injury to the area. What are the symptoms of cubital tunnel syndrome? The following are the most common symptoms of cubital tunnel syndrome. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include: numbness in the hand and/or ring and little finger hand pain hand and thumb clumsiness due to muscle weakness The symptoms of cubital tunnel syndrome may resemble other medical conditions or problems, including medial epicondylitis (golfer's elbow). Always consult your physician for a diagnosis.

Common Injuries Elbow Injuries Loose Bodies Tendonitis/Epicondylitis Ulnar Nerve Neuritis/Cubital Tunnel Syndrome Radial Nerve Neuritis/Radial Tunnel Syndrome Ulnar Nerve Neuritis / Cubital Tunnel Syndrome Description Cubital tunnel syndrome is due to excessive pressure on one of the major nerves to the arm and hand (the ulnar nerve), as it crosses around the back of the inside of the elbow. Common Causes Repeated activities with a flexed elbow, including driving, sleeping, keyboarding, weightlifting etc. Symptoms Earliest symptoms are numbness, tingling, or pain in the ring and small fingers, at night or with the aggravating activity. Later on, weakness and coordination difficulties develop. Physical Findings History and physical examination, with a positive 'Tinel's sign', and 'Elbow Flexion Test'. Impaired function of the muscles innervated by the Ulnar nerve are found late. Workup Occasionally, electrodiagnostic studies (nerve conduction tests and electromyography) will be required to confirm the diagnosis, and its severity. Non-Operative Treatment Splinting, including nighttime elbow splints. Avoidance of specific activities. Anti-inflammatory medication. A single trial of a corticosteroid injection in the cubital tunnel may by quite helpful.

APPOINTMENT GUIDELINES REQUEST FOR APPOINTMENT DOWNLOAD OFFICE FORMS PAY YOUR BILL ONLINE ... ORTHOPAEDIC PROBLEMS Cubital Tunnel Syndrome 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 are several other tunnels that the ulnar nerve passes through while traveling down the arm. Cubital tunnel syndrome occurs when there is compression or injury of the ulnar nerve in the cubital tunnel or in surrounding smaller tunnels. The ulnar nerve provides sensation to the little finger and half of the ring finger. It also supplies several muscles in the forearm but most importantly it controls many of the small muscles in the hand responsible for coordinating finger motion and pinch. Patients with this condition commonly exhibit symptoms of intermittent numbness or tingling in the ring and little fingers of the affected extremity. These symptoms may occur with prolonged flexion of the elbow or resting against the elbow. There may be an associated aching discomfort along the inner forearm or elbow. If nerve damage persists, there is loss of sensation in the ring and little fingers. Eventually there is loss of pinch and grip strength.

Home About Dr. Jameson Ask the Doctor Links ... ADD or ADHD (c) 2004 by Dr. Timothy Jameson Doctor of Chiropractic Castro Valley, CA A common problem among both acoustic and electric guitar players, as well as other stringed instrument players, is the development of forearm pain, tingling, and numbness, typically on the same side that you fret the instrument. This column will explain a specific type of repetitive injury called cubital tunnel syndrome, which affects the inner side of the forearm and the pinky side of the hand. Most musicians are probably not familiar with this syndrome even though the symptoms are experienced by many. The typical presentation of the syndrome, the anatomical structures involved, along with prevention and treatment options will be discussed in this article. Cubital Tunnel Syndrome typically involves pain and/or abnormal sensations 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 achy, sore and painful, and can lead to a misdiagnosis of tendonitis by an inexperienced doctor.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Trigger Finger Ganglion Cyst Basal Joint Arthritis of the Thumb ... Dupuytren's Contracture/Disease This condition, also called ulnar neuropathy of the elbow, is similar to carpal tunnel syndrome. It is not as common as carpal tunnel syndrome, and involves a different nerve irritated at a different location. In cubital tunnel syndrome, the ulnar nerve is involved, and the location is around the medial, or inner, aspect of the elbow. The ulnar nerve lies in a narrow groove, or tunnel, directly behind a piece of bone called the medial epicondyle. There are multiple possible causes. Having the elbow bent, or flexed, for long periods may stretch the nerve, as can repetitive elbow flexion. Direct trauma to the nerve may be involved, or previous injury to the elbow resulting in bony deformity. In rare cases, there may be cysts or other growths that take up room and narrow the tunnel. Other conditions can be involved, such as diabetes. Numbness is one of the most prominent symptoms. This is typically felt in the outside half of the ring finger and in the small finger. It may radiate up the hand and forearm to the elbow. The numbness is often felt at night, first thing in the morning, or associated with bending the elbow. Pain can also occur, radiating from the elbow to the small and ring fingers. In more advanced cases, weakness in the hand occurs. The diagnosis is usually made based on symptoms and examination in the office. In many cases, electrical testing ("EMG's") of the nerves is done to confirm the diagnosis. X-rays of the elbow may be needed.

Cubital Tunnel Syndrome What is the Cubital Tunnel? The cubital tunnel is a tunnel formed by bones and ligaments on the inside of the elbow. The ulnar nerve passes through this tunnel on its way from the upper arm into the forearm. This nerve is in the area of your "funny bone" and is the reason why you have a tingling sensation in your ring and little fingers when you accidentally hit it. What is the cause of Cubital Tunnel Syndrome? Cubital Tunnel Syndrome is caused by increased pressure on the ulnar nerve as it passes through this tunnel. The ulnar nerve normally stretches a few millimeters every time the elbow is flexed. When this is done repeatedly or for prolonged periods of time, the nerve can become irritated and inflamed. Direct pressure on the elbow and trauma are other causal factors. The nerve can also move from its original position in the tunnel to a place outside the tunnel, leading to continued irritation and inflammation. What are the symptoms of Cubital Tunnel Syndrome?

Cubital Tunnel Syndrome Cubital tunnel syndrome is a condition that involves the ulna nerve as it crosses the elbow. The ulna nerve provides sensation to the ring and little fingers as well as making some of the muscles in the hand work. When it is damaged, numbness and tingling occurs in the fingers. It can feel as if it involves the whole hand, although it is only two fingers. The hand may also feel weak or clumsy. Sometimes the inside of the elbow will be painful. The ulna nerve sits in a groove (cubital tunnel) towards the back and inside of the elbow. Normally it is protected. However, it can be bumped which results in the "hitting the funny bone" sensation. Long term damage to the nerve can come from repeated bending of the elbow (such as operating levers or lifting), leaning on it (such as reading or driving) or a direct blow. The diagnosis of cubital tunnel syndrome begins by asking specific questions as to which fingers feel different, if the hand is weak and where any pain is located. The physical examination involves tapping on nerves to determine where they are irritated. It is important to determine that other causes of "pinched nerves" are not present such as diabetes or kidney disease. The ulna nerve can also be trapped in other areas such as the neck. Sometimes electrical diagnostic tests such as EMGs or nerve conduction studies are needed. These tests measure the speed of the nerve and how quickly information travels down the nerve. An area where the nerve is pinched will slow the speed.
