Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT Ulnar/cubital tunnel syndrome is the second most common compressive neuropathy of the upper limb. Permanent location of the ulnar nerve anterior to the medial epicondyle is extremely rare, with only five cases reported in the literature. Using ultrasound elastography and diffusion tensor imaging with fiber tractography, we diagnosed a case in which ulnar nerve entrapment was assoc iated with anterior nerve location. Surgical release confirmed the diagnosis and the patient was symptom free 3 months after surgery. PMID:35024904 | DOI:10.1007/s00276-021-02881-9 View on the web Inoreader.
