Symptoms. Symptoms of Cubital Tunnel Syndrome often include numbness and tingling in the ring and little fingers, which may be intermittent and exacerbated when the elbow is bent, such as during sleep. Poor coordination and a weakened grip are common, making everyday activities like holding objects or typing challenging.
Symptoms. Cubital tunnel syndrome can cause an aching pain on the inside of the elbow. Most of the symptoms, however, occur in your hand. Numbness and tingling in the ring finger and little finger are common symptoms of ulnar nerve entrapment. Often, these symptoms come and go.
Your ulnar goes through a tunnel of tissues called the cubital tunnel, which travels under a bony bump on the inside of your elbow called the medial epicondyle. The space is narrow, and there's only a little tissue protecting it. That spot is where your ulnar nerve is most vulnerable.
Ulnar neuropathy is mostly a numbness/tingling problem. If the biggest symptom is elbow pain, and numbness/tingling is minor then tendonitis/arthritis diagnoses should be considered. Ulnar nerve surgery for the main goal of improving elbow pain is often not successful.
Cubital tunnel syndrome is compression or traction of the ulnar nerve at the elbow. Symptoms include elbow pain and paresthesias in the ulnar nerve distribution. Diagnosis is suggested by symptoms and signs and supported by nerve conduction studies.
The ulnar nerve passes across the elbow on the medial (inside) side. It lies very near to the medial ulnar collateral ligament. As it crosses the elbow joint, it enters a small tunnel referred to as the cubital tunnel.
Diagnosis. Symptoms. Patients report numbness, tingling or burning in the ulnar nerve distribution of the hand discussed above—small and part of ring fingers. The symptoms may be worse at night, as we tend to sleep without elbow flexed, further compressing the nerve.
