Cubital Tunnel Release

Do You Live with Cubital Tunnel Syndrome? Let's get you on the path to healing.

Your hands rely on nerves that run down your arms and into your fingers. These nerves include the ulnar nerve, which is located on the inside of your arm and runs through the cubital tunnel, located near the inside of your elbow. Over time, the ulnar nerve can become compressed, leading to pain, tingling, numbness, and hand weakness. It's important to find a cubital tunnel doctor to discuss cubital tunnel release if you suspect you have this condition.

What Are the Causes and Symptoms of Cubital Tunnel Syndrome?

Because there is very little protective padding near your elbow, your ulnar nerve is susceptible to pressure from activities that place weight or pressure on that part of the arm. This pressure can cause numbness, tingling, pain, or hand weakness. While the general causes of the cubital tunnel syndrome are well understood, the exact cause of a patient’s cubital tunnel syndrome usually is not known. Some people experience symptoms of cubital tunnel syndrome in their elbows, radiating down to the fourth and fifth fingers of their affected hand. Depending on the severity of the compression, you may experience:

  • Tingling or numbness
  • Pain or numbness when your elbow is bent or resting on a hard surface.
  • Weakened grip and general muscle weakness.
