Abstract:
Entrapment of the ulnar nerve around the elbow is the second most common compression neuropathy in the upper extremity. Many anatomical regions that possibly compress the ulnar nerve around the elbow joint have been described, however few cases below the flexor carpi ulnaris muscle have been reported. A case with ulnar nerve entrapment at the flexor pronator aponeurosis, secondary to surgery is reported in this study.
