Nerve conduction velocity and cross-sectional area in ulnar neuropathy at the elbow.
Muscle & Nerve 2017 December
INTRODUCTION: In the precise localization of ulnar neuropathy at the elbow (UNE) we have noted discrepancies between electrodiagnostic (EDx) and ultrasonographic (US) findings. We aimed to explore the relationship between the 2 techniques.
METHODS: Four study-blind examiners took a history and performed neurologic, EDx, and US examinations of a group of prospectively recruited patients with UNE. They assessed the relationship between ulnar nerve cross-sectional area (CSA) and motor nerve conduction velocity (MNCV).
RESULTS: In 106 patients with UNE at the retrocondylar (RTC) groove, the highest CSA and lowest MNCV were noted in the same short segment. In 54 patients with UNE at the humeroulnar aponeurosis (HUA), the highest CSA and lowest MNCV were noted proximal to the HUA.
DISCUSSION: MNCV and CSA were highly correlated in UNE. Ulnar nerve slowing proximal to the entrapment at the HUA was surprising, but consistent with previous studies done on carpal tunnel syndrome. Muscle Nerve 56: E65-E72, 2017.
