Abstract:
Symptoms of ulnar tunnel syndrome are commonly experienced by avid bicyclists. Previous orthopedic and hand surgery publications have rarely included bicycling as a causative factor for this condition. We present the case of a 41-year-old man who developed bilateral ulnar tunnel syndrome during a week-long mountain bicycling tour. His symptoms gradually improved with nonoperative treatment measures, including rest, splinting, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medication.
