Ulnar Nerve Entrapment
Ulnar nerve entrapment is a condition that stems from compression of the ulnar nerve. This can cause pain, tingling and numbness in the forearm and hand. Compression of the ulnar nerve occurs mainly at two sites: the elbow or the wrist and each site has different names to help identify the location of the compromise. At the elbow, ulnar nerve entrapment is commonly seen in the cubital tunnel, and therefore is referred to as Cubital Tunnel Syndrome. It is the second most common entrapment of neural tissue. At the wrist, it occurs at Guyon’s canal (subsequently making the condition at the wrist termed Guyon’s Canal Syndrome), which is the second most common compression at the wrist (the first of which is carpal tunnel syndrome).
