“…High-resolution ultrasound imaging has gained attention recently as a complementary investigatory tool of the peripheral nervous system, as many clinically important nerves are located superficially and are easily accessible for this type of examination [ 10 , 13 , 14 ]. Conventional B-mode ultrasound can provide information regarding the site of the lesion, the eventual loss of the normal fascicular architecture, abnormal nerve cross-sectional areas (CSAs) or echogenicity, increased vascularity, reduced or excessive nerve mobility, or anomalous anatomical structures causing nerve injury [ 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 ]. In several previous studies, patients with ulnar neuropathy at the elbow have been shown to have an increased CSA when compared with healthy control groups, but the cutoff above which CSA is considered pathological varies between authors [ 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 15 , 16 ].…”
