On the Issue of Diagnosis and Treatment of Tunnel Neuropathy of the Ulnar Nerve in the Cubital Canal

Abstract

The article presents current data on the problem of the renal canal syndrome, which is observed in people of working age in certain professions. Anatomical features of the canal and biomechanics of the elbow joint create prerequisites for compression of the ulnar nerve. The issues of distribution, classification, clinic, and effectiveness of various diagnostic methods are considered in detail. The treatment methods are analyzed in detail: conservative and surgical. If conservative treatment is ineffective, various options for surgical decompression are used. Special attention is paid to postoperative complications. Provocative tests, ultrasound, electro-neuromyography, and magnetic resonance imaging are used to diagnose the disease.
