CUBITAL TUNNEL SYNDROME (Ulnar Nerve Entrapment)
Cubital Tunnel Syndrome, also called ulnar neuropathy, is a condition that involves pressure or stretching of the ulnar nerve (also known as the “funny bone” nerve).
People who put their elbows on the table for a long time or keep the elbow bent, e.g. during sleep, may suffer from ulnar nerve entrapment.
Furthermore, cubital tunnel syndrome is popular among the athlets. Every physical activity with twisting motion of elbow, which is required for throwing, may cause delicate damage of elbow ligaments. Due to this fact, this condition is common in baseballers and handballers.
Early symptoms of cubital tunnel syndrome include is pain and numbness in the elbow. Also, patients suffer from tingling, especially in the ring and little finger. Untreated elbow neuropathy may cause weakness of muscles, limit of hand grip and hand deformation, called ulnar claw, in which the 4th and 5th fingers are extended at the metacarpophalangeal joints and flexed at the interphalangeal joints.
Cubital tunnel syndrome often can be managed conservatively and surgery is a last resort. The most effective is using of electromyography together with elbow splint OKG-04. This elbow brace allows to reduce excessive joint flexion and protect against ulnar nerve entrapment.
