Cubital Tunnel Syndrome
Symptoms of Cubital Tunnel Syndrome
Symptoms of cubital tunnel syndrome include numbness and a pins-and-needles sensation of the ring and little fingers and pain in the elbow. Eventually, weakness of the hand, particularly of the ring and little fingers, may develop. Weakness may also interfere with the ability to pinch using the thumb and index finger and the ability to grip with the hand because most of the small muscles in the hand are controlled by the ulnar nerve. Severe, chronic cubital tunnel syndrome can lead to muscle wasting (atrophy) and a clawlike deformity of the hand.
