The symptoms are very similar to the pain from hitting your funny bone. You are actually hitting the ulnar nerve on the inside of the elbow. The ulnar nerve runs through a passage called the cubital tunnel. When this area becomes irritated from injury or pressure, it can lead to cubital tunnel syndrome. Anatomy The ulnar nerve starts at the side of the neck, where the individual nerve roots leave the spine. The nerve roots exit through small openings between the vertebrae. These openings are called foramen. The nerve roots join together to form three main nerves that travel down the arm to the hand. One of these nerves is the ulnar nerve. The ulnar nerve passes through the cubital tunnel just behind the inside edge of the elbow. The tunnel is formed by muscle, ligament, and bone. You may be able to feel it if you straighten your arm out and rub the groove on the inside edge of your elbow. The ulnar nerve passes through the cubital tunnel and winds its way down the forearm and into the hand. It supplies feeling to the little finger and half the ring finger and controls the small muscles of the hand.

Extractions: The staff of Massage Today extends its sincere wishes for peace, health and happiness in 2005! Nerve compression problems are a frequent cause for pain and dysfunction in the upper extremity, particularly in the occupational environment. Although not as present in the popular literature as carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome is a common nerve compression pathology. In fact, it is the second most common peripheral compression neuropathy. It occurs when the ulnar nerve is compressed between the two heads of the flexor carpi ulnaris on the posterior elbow within a region called the cubital tunnel. Characteristics The cubital tunnel is located on the posterior elbow and is bordered by the two heads of the flexor carpi ulnaris (FCU) muscle. One head of the FCU muscle comes from the common flexor tendon attachments at the medial epicondyle of the humerus. The other comes off the medial aspect of the olecranon process. The two heads eventually join to form the belly of the FCU. The nerve eventually passes between these two heads (Figure 1). Space within the cubital tunnel may decrease as much as 55 percent during elbow flexion, making nerve compression more likely.

IPNS Home Page At the elbow, the ulnar nerve passes through a bony groove known as the cubital tunnel. It is bound by bone on either side, the medial epicondyl above and the olecranon (elbow) below. The tunnel has a bony base and a ligament that crosses above the ulnar nerve from the medial epicondyle to the olecranon. The illustration below shows the ulnar nerve on the inside of the right elbow, where it passes through the cubital tunnel. The ulnar nerve, which is about the size of a pencil, controls the muscles for grip strength, primarily in the little, ring and often the middle fingers. It controls the muscles for most of the pinch strength and it controls the small muscles in the hand that coordinate fine movements of the hand, with the exception of the muscles that lift the thumb up and out of the palm and turn the thumb for pinching. The ulnar nerve also controls the feeling in the little and ring fingers, and on the little finger side of the back of the hand. The illustration below shows the regions of sensory distribution by the ulnar nerve in the front and back of the hand.

http://www.dynomed.com/encyclopedia/encyclopedia/elbow_and_forearm/Cubital_Tunne

Extractions: The ulnar nerve, along with the radial and median nerves, is one of the three major nerves of the arm. It supplies sensation to most of the hand muscles, as well as to much of the forearm. If there is pressure on the ulnar nerve as it passes through the cubital tunnel, a bony passageway along the inside of the elbow, there will be sensory and motor changes in the hand. Entrapment of the ulnar nerve is also known as cubital tunnel syndrome . If you hit your funny bone and have a tingling sensation in the small and ring fingers, you have hit the ulnar nerve as it is pulled into the bony groove of the cubital tunnel. With cubital tunnel syndrome there is pressure on the ulnar nerve each time the elbow is bent, reducing the supply of blood to the nerve. This causes damage to the nerve over time. There are three long bones in the arm: the humerus, or upper arm, and the ulna and radius, the two bones of the lower arm. The bone on the little finger side of the forearm is the ulna, and the bone on the thumb side of the forearm is the radius. The elbow joint is a hinge joint formed by the end of the humerus and the end of the ulna, the larger bone. The ulna is smaller at the wrist, and widens quite a bit towards the elbow. Multiple ligaments attach these bones together at the elbow, allowing the joint to bend like a hinge.

The ulnar nerve was compressed by the aberrant muscle and a fusiform thickening and induration of the nerve trunk were observed just proximal to the muscle. The muscle was tight in flexion and significantly compressed the ulnar nerve. The ulnar nerve was strained proximal to the muscle bulk at elbow flexion beyond 90. The aberrant muscle was split longitudinally and flexor retinaculum as well. Splitting of the muscle revealed the aberrant muscle was hypertrophied as thick as 5 millimeter in depth and compressed the nerve during elbow flexion.

http://www.chiroweb.com/archives/12/22/03.html

Extractions: NutritionalWellness Brad McKechnie, DC, DACAN Cubital tunnel syndrome is the second most common entrapment neuropathy of the upper extremity, with reports of problems related to ulnar compression at the elbow dating back more than 100 years.1 The cubital tunnel begins at the medial posterior condylar groove of the humerus at the point where the posterior condylar groove is spanned by the cubital tunnel retinaculum.2 The cubital tunnel retinaculum runs from the medial epicondyle of the humerus to the olecranon and is transversely oriented to the path of the nerve. The cubital tunnel retinaculum may be readily palpated by flexing the elbow and applying finger tip pressure along the path of the posterior condylar groove, because the retinaculum is tightened in flexion and relaxed in extension. The cubital tunnel continues distally, as the ulnar nerve passes between the two heads of the flexor carpi ulnaris muscle and enters the forearm. Most cases of cubital tunnel entrapment of the ulnar nerve occur between 1.5 centimeters and 3.5 centimeters distal to the medial epicondyle. The cubital tunnel's volume decreases with flexion of the elbow, thus increasing the pressure on the ulnar nerve with this position.3 Pressures greater than 100 mm Hg have been documented to occur with elbow flexion when the cubital tunnel retinaculum is artificially tightened. Paresthesia has been induced within 10 minutes in normal subjects when peripheral nerves are artificially subjected to 50 mm Hg of compression.4 Most cubital tunnel entrapment syndromes are primarily due to compression of the ulnar nerve from the narrowing of the cubital tunnel with flexion of the forearm.

http://www.chiroweb.com/archives/11/01/22.html

Extractions: NutritionalWellness Probably the most common site for repeated trauma to the ulnar nerve is at the site located at the groove between the olecranon and the medial epicondyle of the humerus. This is the cubital tunnel. Within this tunnel, the ulnar nerve is held firmly against the bony floor of the tunnel by a strong, dense fascia, the arcuate ligament. At the 90 degrees of elbow flexion, this ligament is tightly stretched; while on extension, it is slightly relaxed. The medial ligament is located between the ulnar nerve and the bony floor of the tunnel. On flexion of the elbow, the medial ligament circumferentially enlarges (bulges) and may compress the ulnar nerve within the tunnel. Also, pronation of the arm complements the presence of pressure on the nerve. The ulnar nerve supplies the ulnar flexor muscle at the wrist and the deep flexor muscle of the fingers, and enters the hand to supply musculature of the hypothenar eminence, the thumb adductor, and the deep head of the thumb short flexor muscle. It also branches to the ulnar aspect of the dermatome to the hand.

Cubital Tunnel Syndrome
cubital tunnel syndrome (aka ulnar neuritis) is compression of the ulnar nerve at the level of the elbow.
http://www.hsrnj.com/MedicalProblems/CubitalTunnel.asp

Extractions: Cubital tunnel syndrome (aka ulnar neuritis) is compression of the ulnar nerve at the level of the elbow. The ulnar nerve is one of the two major nerves of the hand that provides sensation to the small finger and a portion of the ring finger. More importantly, the ulnar nerve controls many small muscles in the hand itself. These muscles are important in controlling fine movements of the hand and fingers. Q: What are the symptoms of Cubital Tunnel Syndrome? A: Cubital tunnel syndrome is caused by compression of the nerve behind the "funny bone" of the elbow. It is usually a combination of pulling and actual pressure on the nerve. Cubital tunnel syndrome may also be caused by old injuries to the elbow that leave the bones bent and the nerve stretched. Q: WHow is the diagnosis made?
