“…In fact, since the perineurium is not permeable and endoneural capillaries are very selective in molecule ®ltration, the endoneural compartment results in being relatively isolated. Therefore, oedema increases endoneural hydrostatic pressure with endothelial hypoxia and consequent axonal damage [51,58]. There is also experimental evidence that endoneural oedema is able to negatively in¯uence axonal regeneration inducing ®broblastic invasion with intraneural scar formation [41].…”

SummaryUlnar nerve entrapment at the elbow is an important and relatively frequent pathological condition that may be related to di¨ent causes depending on individual or external factors. The cause of the nerve lesion is also idiopathic in about one-quarter to one-third of cases. This variable aetiopathogenetic presentation has often suggested di¨erent diagnostic and clinical approaches and, moreover, various surgical procedures. We present our 8-years surgical experience with 290 cases of ulnar nerve entrapment at the elbow analysing the salient clinical features and the results of the surgical treatment in the light of the relevant literature available on this topic.

“…It has been demonstrated (Werner et al 1985) that during flexion, the pressure increases in the cubital tunnel, even more in case of contraction of the flexor carpi ulnaris muscle, as it normally happens in throwing.…”

The elbow in a sports population is one of the joints most frequently involved in pathologic events.Injuries can be acute, like traumatic ruptures of tendons or ligaments, but more often are the consequence of chronic overload or of repetitive microtrauma, which can cause a damage of the microscopic structure of a tendon with degeneration of cells and of intercellular matrix. This process goes under the term of tendinosis.In both of these conditions, rehabilitation plays an important role in recovering functional activity and athletic skills. For the rehabilitation team, this aim always represents a challenge, as treatments need to be continuously remodeled and fine-tuned on the needs and features of the single subject, even during the same session. This challenge becomes even more involving when we are dealing with athletes, as it is necessary not simply restoring a functional motion arc but also regaining the complete performance of athletic gesture.

“…It is typically caused by nerve traction with prolonged elbow flexion (e.g., cell phone users and musicians) or by direct trauma to the ulnar nerve along its superficial path in the elbow as with excessive leaning on the elbows among office workers and drivers [Apfelberg and Larson, 1973;Werner et al, 1985;Charness et al, 1996;Darowish et al, 2009].…”
