Abstract
|
|
|
|
Musculoskeletal ultrasonography has been used as a convenient and simple tool for diagnosis of various conditions of orthopaedic diseases for many years. Generally magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is thought to be the best method to search for anatomical structures or variations. However, for dynamic conditions such as dislocation or subluxation of tendons and nerves, MRI is not superior to ultrasonography, especially dynamic ultrasonography. So we present such a patient with an ulnar nerve subluxation at the elbow who has symtoms mimicking cubital tunnel syndrome diagnosed by dynamic ultrasonography and treated successfully by ulnar nerve anterior transposition and think that dynamic ultrasonography is a useful method for diagnosing dynamic condition such as ulnar nerve subluxation mimicking cubital tunnel syndrome.
