3D Cubital Tunnel Syndrome Animation Video

The cubital tunnel is a narrow, fixed passageway in the elbow that houses and protects the ulnar nerve. This is the nerve responsible for the sensation you feel when you hit your "funny bone".

Cubital Tunnel Syndrome, also called Ulnar Nerve Entrapment, involves tearing or inflammation of the ulnar nerve. The ulnar nerve travels down the back of the elbow behind the bony bump called the medial epicondyle and through a passageway called the cubital tunnel. The cubital tunnel is on the inside of the elbow and is formed by bone, muscle, and ligaments with the ulnar nerve passing through its center. When the elbow is bent, the ulnar nerve can stretch and catch on the bony bump. When the ulnar nerve is compressed or entrapped, the nerve can tear and become inflamed leading to a variety of symptoms.

Your Practice Online's 3D video on Cubital Tunnel Syndrome is an excellent patient education tool for prospective surgical patients. The video uses text, voice, images, and 3D animation to visually explain elbow surgery and the diagnostic tests involved. 3D animation, voice, and text are used to explain the surgical steps of Cubital Tunnel Syndrome surgery as well as the post operative precautions and risks and complications.
