Tunnel Syndrome

Compression neuropathy of the ulnar nerve at the elbow is well-recognised as cubital tunnel syndrome (CuTS). Many causes of ulnar neuropathy at the elbow have been identified. A previously unreported finding of ulnar nerve compression in the cubital tunnel caused by a thrombosed proximal ulnar recurrent artery vena comitans is described.

Abnormal Anatomy

Cubital tunnel syndrome is the second most common compression neuropathy of the upper extremity and the most common point of compression for the ulnar nerve. We present a case of ulnar nerve compression neuropathy at the elbow secondary to an abnormal subluxating medial head of triceps. A 37-year-old right hand dominant male presented with a history of bilateral medial elbow pain and ulnar distribution hand numbness. During his left cubital tunnel release surgery, the abnormal anatomy was noted. Initial subfascial anterior transposition was insufficient and had to be revised to a subcutaneous transposition intraoperatively. Failure to recognize the contribution of triceps abnormalities can lead to incomplete resolution following surgery. Surgeons should be wary of uncommon findings and adjust their approach appropriately.

Post Traumatic

The normal ulnar nerve is not visible on radiographs of the elbow. An unusual case is described in which symptoms of ulnar nerve compression with a swollen, tender ulnar nerve at the elbow developed after relatively minor trauma. Radiology suggested “Calcific Neuritis”, but this was short lived with complete regression of the symptoms.

Tunnel Syndrome

We describe a case of an adult patient presenting with cubital tunnel syndrome in the setting of previously undiagnosed macrodactyly. Early diagnosis and management of macrodactyly is important to help prevent symptoms associated with compromised peripheral nerves and reduce the likelihood of the permanent motor and sensory sequelae of prolonged nerve compression.

Elbow Motion

Arthrogryposis is a syndrome of multiple joint contracture and subluxation that is present at birth and is characterized by a nonprogressive disorder. Patients with lack of active elbow motion show the typical elbow motion with passive assistance, such as the trunk-sway and cross-arm techniques. We describe our experience with the treatment of an arthrogryposis patient with cubital tunnel syndrome caused by the passive elbow motion. The ulnar nerve was entrapped by a thick fibrous band at the cubital tunnel, and simple decompression of the ulnar nerve brought the patient a good recovery from the palsy.

Problem Lists

AbstractPatient descriptors, or “problems,” such as “brain metastases of melanoma” are an effective way for caregivers to describe patients. But most problems, e.g., “cubital tunnel syndrome” or “ulnar nerve compression,” found in problem lists in an Electronic Medical Record (EMR) are not comparable computationally – in general, a computer cannot determine whether they describe the same or a related problem, or whether the user would have preferred “ulnar nerve compression syndrome.” Metaphrase is a scalable, middleware component designed to be accessed from problemmanager applications in EMR systems. In response to caregivers' informal descriptors it suggests potentially equivalent, authoritative, and more formally comparable descriptors. Metaphrase contains a clinical subset of the 1997 UMLS Metathesaurus and some 10,000 “problems” from the Mayo Clinic and Harvard Beth Israel Hospital. Word and term completion, spelling correction, and semantic navigation, all combine to ease the burden of problem conceptualization, entry and formalization.
