Ulnar Clubhand eMedicine Orthopedics

Location: http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/1243123-overview

Ulnar clubhand is much less common than radial clubhand and is more appropriately referred to as ulnar deficiencies of the forearm. Most cases are sporadic in occurrence, although genetic syndromes are associated with ulnar dysplasia. Focal dermal hyperplasia, or Goltz syndrome (also known as Goltz-Gorlin syndrome), is an X-linked dominant...

Ulnar Sided Wrist Pain

Location: http://www.emedicine.com/orthoped/topic619.htm

Wrist pain often proves to be a challenging presenting complaint. Determining the cause of ulnar-sided wrist pain is difficult, largely because of the complexity of the anatomic and biomechanical properties of the ulnar wrist.1, 2 The objectives of this article are to provide an overview of the most common problems that...

Cubital Tunnel Syndrome eMedicine Orthopedics

Location: http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/1231663-overview

Feindel and Stratford (1958) were the first to use the term cubital tunnel. They emphasized that the ulnar nerve is compressed at the elbow because of anatomic peculiarities to that region. In 1898, Curtis performed the first published case of management for ulnar nerve neuropathy at the elbow, which consisted...

Complete anaesthesia in the cutaneous distribution of the ulnar nerve following submuscular anterior transposition

Location: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19093911

Complete anaesthesia in the cutaneous distribution of the ulnar nerve following submuscular anterior transposition of the ulnar nerve has not been previously reported. We postulate vascular insult as the etiology of this condition and suggest there may be clinical importance to preserving the ulnar nerve blood supply during submuscular anterior...

Ulnar Impaction Syndrome MyPACS

Location: http://www.mypacs.net/cases/ULNA-IMPACTION-SYNDROME-4814654.html

Ulnar variance refers to the relative lengths of the radius and ulna, specifically with regard to adjoining articular surfaces of the distal ulna and radius.� The styloid (or lateral) side of the radius normally projects more distal than does the ulna; however the distal radial articular surface is normally tilted...

Bony entrapment of ulnar nerve after closed forearm fracture

Location: http://www.josonline.org/pdf/v12i1p122.pdf

We report a case of ulnar nerve palsy following forearm fracture in a 13-year-old girl. Significant anterior angulation and displacement of the ulna were noted. Operation was performed 3 months after the injury, when no recovery of numbness and claw hand deformity were demonstrated. Intra-operatively the ulnar nerve was found...

Medial epicondylectomy or ulnar-nerve transposition for ulnar neuropathy at the elbow

Location: http://www.jbjs.org.uk/cgi/reprint/78-B/5/777

We carried out a prospective randomised study comparing medial epicondylectomy with anterior transposition for the treatment of ulnar neuropathy at the elbow. The mean follow-up period was 4.5 years and we assessed the patients neurologically and orthopaedically. Neither procedure appeared to have a significant effect on elbow function. Our study...

Systemic scleroderma associated with bilateral ulnar nerve entrapment

Location: http://rheumatology.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/full/39/6/682

Peripheral nervous system involvement in systemic sclerosis (SSc) is rare, and is usually limited to carpal tunnel syndrome.

The Essex-Lopresti syndrome may develop after a proximal radial fracture such as a radial head fracture, excision of the radial head for fracture, or a displaced proximal radial shaft fracture. The Essex-Lopresti syndrome results when such a fracture, associated with disruption of the forearm interosseous membrane, allows proximal migration...

Surgical management of Guyon s canal syndrome

Location: http://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S0004-282X2001000100022&lng=en&nrm=iso&tlng=e ...

Guyon's canal syndrome, an ulnar nerve entrapment at the wrist, is a well-recognized entity. The most common causes that involve the ulnar nerve at the wrist are compression from a ganglion, occupational traumatic neuritis, a musculotendinous arch and disease of the ulnar artery. We describe two cases of Guyon's canal...

Ulnar Mononeuropathy in Diabetes Mellitus Medscape

Location: http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/508017

Diabetic mononeuropathies may be non-compressive (cranial nerve lesions, thoraco-abdominal radiculopathy) or compressive giving rise to nerve entrapment syndromes.[1] Compression mononeuropathies are related to mechanical disruption of the myelin sheaths at sites of external compression. Carpal tunnel syndrome affecting the median nerve is the most common but ulnar and lateral popliteal...
