Recurrent Cubital Tunnel Syndrome Caused by Ganglion: A Report of Nine Cases.

CONCLUSIONS: The acute onset of numbness with or without intolerable pain in the ring and little fingers after a long-term remission period following initial surgery for CuTS in patients with elbow osteoarthritis appears to be the characteristic clinical profile of recurrent CuTS caused by ganglion. As ganglia are often not palpable, ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging are recommended for accurate diagnosis. PMID: 29734908 [PubMed - in process]
