Summary
Ulnar nerve dislocation at the elbow is a rare condition often misdiagnosed. Surgical transposition of the ulnar nerve effectively resolves chronic pain and improves function.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedics
- Neurology
- Sports Medicine
Background:
- Ulnar nerve subluxation and dislocation at the elbow are uncommon, particularly in adults.
- These conditions can be misdiagnosed as medial epicondylitis or ulnar nerve entrapment.
- Traumatic ulnar nerve dislocation can result from ligamentous laxity or anatomical variations.

Nerve plexuses are networks of interlacing nerves that serve as communication hubs to distribute and organize nerve action across various body regions. The nerve plexuses are organized into the cervical plexus located in the neck region, brachial plexus in the shoulder area, lumbar plexus found in the lower back, sacral plexus situated in the pelvis, and coccygeal plexus located in the coccygeal region.

01:09Bones of the Upper Limb: Radius
2.2K
The radius is longer of the two bones that make up the human antebrachium or forearm. At the proximal end, the radius articulates with the capitulum of the humerus and the radial notch of the ulna to form the elbow joint. At the distal end, the radius articulates with the ulna via the ulnar notch, forming the distal radioulnar joint. Distally, the radius also attaches to the carpal wrist bones (scaphoid and lunate) to form the radiocarpal joint.
