The cubital tunnel is located in the internal part of the cubital joint where the cubital nerve passes. The most common disorders are numbness of the little and ring finger. In the case of long-term compression of this nerve, wasting of the hand muscles occurs, and it is no longer possible to perform accurate finger movements.
Endoscopic or conventional surgery can be performed. During the surgery an incision is made in the internal surface of the cubital joint, and under direct visual control or endoscopically, the ligament is divided and the nerve is released to reduce the pressure in the cubital tunnel.
