Abstract
Objective. To study the main criteria of ultrasound semiotics of cubital tunnel syndrome as well as to determine the time periods for revealing the connections between quantitative indexes of nerve dimensions and electroneuromyographic conductibility measurements of motor and sensor fibers and to clarify the time points for ultrasound monitoring. Material and methods. The ultrasound and electromyographic examination of ulnar nerves at 117 patients with cubital tunnel syndrome was conducted. The analysis of correlation relationships with neurophysiological measurements is performed. Results. It has been established that transverse section area of the ulnar nerve is correlated with the values of residual latency. The main postoperative time-points of ultrasound monitoring is 1st and 4-6th months after neurolisys. Conclusion. The ultrasound method is necessary used both for diagnostics and screening at patients with revealed or suspected cubital tunnel syndrome.
