About this course
What is Cubital Tunnel Syndrome?
Cubital tunnel syndrome (CuTS) is an entrapment neuropathy of the ulnar nerve at the elbow, most commonly occurring within the fibro-osseous cubital tunnel posterior to the medial epicondyle. Pathophysiology involves chronic compression, traction, or subluxation of the ulnar nerve, leading to impaired nerve conduction and ischemia. Clinically, patients present with paresthesias in the ulnar distribution, medial elbow pain, and progressive motor deficits including intrinsic hand muscle weakness, decreased grip strength, and in advanced cases, clawing deformity. Diagnosis is supported by physical examination and confirmed by electrodiagnostic studies and sonographic findings. Management depends on severity, ranging from conservative strategies (activity modification, nighttime elbow extension splinting, NSAIDs) to surgical options such as in situ decompression, medial epicondylectomy, or anterior transposition of the ulnar nerve. Ultrasound-guided Cubital tunnel release (CuTR) is gaining increasing interest as it is minimal-invasive, can be performed outpatient and mostly enables a fast recovery and a quick return to work.
Why should you follow this webinar?
This webinar is designed to give physicians a comprehensive overview in the sonographic evaluation of CuTS and especially deliver a complete algorithm on how to perform a minimal-invasive ultrasound guided cubital tunnel release. This course is ideal for musculoskeletal specialists, neurologists, neurosurgeons, radiologists, orthopaedic physicians, sports medicine practitioners, and other healthcare professionals seeking to advance their expertise in the diagnose and treatment of CuTS.
