OVERVIEW

What is Cubital Tunnel Syndrome?

Cubital tunnel syndrome is caused by increased pressure or stretching of the ulnar nerve, which runs along the inner side of the elbow. This nerve, often referred to as the “funny bone,” provides sensation to parts of the hand and controls specific muscle movements. When compressed or irritated, the ulnar nerve can lead to discomfort and functional issues in the arm and hand. Below is a list of symptoms associated with cubital tunnel syndrome and how they may manifest:

  • Numbness and Tingling – You may feel numbness or pins and needles in the ring and little fingers. These sensations often worsen when your elbow remains bent for extended periods, such as during phone use or sleeping.
  • Hand Weakness – Muscle weakness frequently causes individuals to experience difficulty gripping or holding objects securely. Over time, this may cause challenges in managing everyday tasks, such as typing or handling small objects.
  • Pain at the Elbow – Pain often presents as an aching or burning sensation on the inside of the elbow. This discomfort may intensify after repetitive motions, such as lifting or bending the arm.

We offer a range of treatments tailored to address cubital tunnel syndrome. Depending on your needs, we can recommend non-surgical methods or advanced surgical options. Non-surgical approaches focus on relieving pressure on the ulnar nerve, promoting healing, and preventing further damage. If these options do not provide relief or if symptoms become severe, cubital tunnel surgery may be necessary. Here is an overview of the treatments we provide:

  • Activity Modification – Adjusting daily movements can reduce strain on the ulnar nerve. Avoiding repetitive elbow bending or prolonged pressure on the inner elbow allows the nerve to heal naturally.
  • Splinting or Bracing – Wearing a splint or brace helps keep the elbow comfortable, particularly while sleeping. This reduces nerve compression and alleviates symptoms over time.
  • Anti-inflammatory medications—These medications can reduce swelling around the ulnar nerve, easing pain and improving mobility. They are typically used in conjunction with other methods for better results.
  • Ulnar Nerve Decompression Surgery – This surgical option releases pressure on the nerve by removing any structures causing compression. It is a minimally invasive approach with a quick recovery.
  • Ulnar Nerve Transposition – During this surgery, the ulnar nerve is relocated to a more protected position in the arm. This prevents further irritation and restores normal nerve function.

The Benefits of Cubital Tunnel Surgery

Cubital tunnel syndrome treatment can significantly improve the quality of life for individuals experiencing discomfort and nerve-related issues. Surgery is a highly effective option for reducing pain, tingling, and numbness in the arm and hand. Addressing the compression of the ulnar nerve restores function and allows individuals to return to daily activities without limitations. Below are some of the key benefits of undergoing cubital tunnel surgery:

  • Relief from Pain and Numbness – Surgery alleviates pressure on the ulnar nerve, reducing pain and restoring normal sensations in the arm and hand. Many patients experience relief shortly after recovery begins.
  • Improved Hand Strength and Function – Persistent nerve compression can weaken the hand. Surgery helps regain grip strength, enabling patients to easily perform tasks like writing, lifting, and typing.
  • Prevention of Further Nerve Damage – Prolonged ulnar nerve compression may cause permanent damage. Surgery prevents the condition from worsening, supporting long-term nerve health.
  • Faster Recovery Compared to Other Treatments – While non-surgical treatments take time, successful surgery can offer quicker and more noticeable relief, ensuring an effective path to full recovery.
