Screening of Axonal Degeneration in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Using Ultrasonography and Nerve Conduction Studies
Published on: January 11, 2019
Abstract:
The symptoms of cubital tunnel syndrome in 118 patients were mainly those of muscular atrophy, but they also included sensory disturbances in the ring and little fingers and pain in the ulnar side of the forearm. The syndrome occurs equally in men and women, with no particular age preference in adults. Seven tests are useful in diagnosing the condition. Treatment consists of excising the band, which constricts the ulnar nerve at the elbow. Sensory recovery is usually complete, but muscular atrophy may not recover in older patients. In my series of 561 nerve decompressions, ulnar nerve decompression was carried out eight times more often at the elbow than at the wrist.
