CUBITAL TUNNEL SYNDROME

Course overview

Cubital tunnel syndrome (CTS; also called ulnar tunnel syndrome) refers to a constellation of manifestations that result from compression, traction, or irritation of the ulnar nerve (i.e., the terminal branch of the medial cord of the brachial plexus) at the elbow. This continuing education module is designed to give the reader/learner an increased understanding of CTS, including its clinical presentation, risk factors, and treatment strategies, and to aid in caring for the patient with this diagnosis. Readers may explore any or all of the topics. One contact hour of continuing education credit is available for those who successfully complete the post-test and evaluation form.
