“…These findings are similar to those presented in another 2018 publication of 56 patients with ulnar neuropathy. In the 12 patients with non-localizing studies, ultrasound was successful in identifying the site of pathology in all (Alrajeh and Preston, 2018). As with median neuropathy at the wrist, ultrasound can aid in not only finding the site of pathology but also in identifying its cause.…”

“…Over the years, it has evolved into a distinct ultrasound subspecialty. A vast amount of literature provides evidence regarding the value of neuromuscular ultrasound in the diagnostic evaluation of neuromuscular disorders (more key references are provided in Data S1 online) . As a result, neuromuscular ultrasound has become a fundamental diagnostic tool in many electrodiagnostic labs, clinics, and radiology centers.…”

Neuromuscular ultrasound has become an essential tool in the diagnostic evaluation of various neuromuscular disorders, and, as such, there is growing interest in neuromuscular ultrasound training. Effective training is critical in mastering this modality. Our aim was to develop consensus‐based guidelines for neuromuscular ultrasound training courses. A total of 18 experts participated. Expert opinion was sought through the Delphi method using 4 consecutive electronic surveys. A high degree of consensus was achieved with regard to the general structure of neuromuscular ultrasound training; the categorization of training into basic, intermediate, and advanced levels; the learning objectives; and the curriculum for each level. In this study, a group of neuromuscular ultrasound experts established consensus‐based guidelines for neuromuscular ultrasound training. These guidelines can be used in the development of the specialty and the standardization of neuromuscular ultrasound training courses and workshops.

“…In addition, these studies show that when using electrodiagnostic studies in conjunction with US, sensitivity is 93.3–98% (3). US has also been shown to be helpful in cases of electrically non-localizable ulnar mononeuropathy at the elbow (4). In carpal tunnel syndrome, a formal evidence based guideline has established the accuracy of sonographic diagnosis (Level A) (5).…”

Focal ulnar neuropathy at the wrist is a rare but problematic disorder often associated with the unique anatomy of this nerve as it courses through Guyon's canal, a superficial fibro-osseous tunnel in the proximal ulnar palm. The electrophysiologic features of this disorder have been well-characterized, but the sonographic anatomy of the nerve across the wrist and palm has yet to be systematically described in normal and abnormal states. In this review, we describe the basic anatomy and the sonographic appearance of the nerve in the wrist and palm in normals and individuals with pathology. The value of using US in conjunction with electrodiagnostic testing is emphasized as the two tests together provide critical information regarding etiology, predisposing factors, and functional significance. Furthermore, ultrasound is useful as a patient educational tool to promote behavioral changes that assist in nerve recovery when pathology is related to repetitive stress.

Neuromuscular ultrasound in electrically non‐localizable ulnar neuropathy

Abstract: HRUS often adds complementary information to standard EDx studies, including ulnar neuropathy. Thus, HRUS should be employed in patients with a non-localizing ulnar neuropathy on EDx studies. Muscle Nerve 58: 655-659, 2018.
