Abstract

Resumo

A síndrome do túnel cubital é responsável pela neuropatia do nervo ulnar, sendo superada em frequência apenas pela síndrome do túnel do carpo. O nervo ulnar apresenta anatomia complexa podendo sofrer compressão em distintos pontos ao longo de seu trajeto, por isso o entendimento das nuances clínicas e da anatomia pormenorizada assim como da técnica cirúrgica meticulosa torna-se essencial no tratamento desta patologia.

Abstract

The cubital tunnel syndrome is responsible for the ulnar nerve neuropathy, this condition is surpassed in frequency only by carpal tunnel syndrome. The ulnar nerve has complex anatomy and may suffer compression at different points along its path, so understanding the clinical nuances and detailed anatomy as well as meticulous surgical technique becomes essential in the treatment of this pathology.

Palavras-Chave
