Electrophysiologic findings of ulnar neuropathy at the elbow

Abstract

Ulnar neuropathy at the elbow is the second most common neuropathy in adults. Although clinical diagnosis is well known, electrophysiologic confirmation is challenging and can be difficult, particularly in mild cases. The aim of this study is to evaluate the electrophysiological findings of ulnar neuropathy at the elbow and discuss the diagnostic values of nerve conduction studies, short segment stimulation and needle electromyography in daily practice.
