[The ultrasonic diagnosis of an ulnar nerve lesion in the sulcus area].
The diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound in ulnar nerve irritation syndrome was evaluated. 7 patients were examined and compared to a control group of 5 healthy persons. We correlated pathological changes with clinical signs and symptoms, nerve conduction velocity and with the operation report. Ultrasound yielded no false negative or false positive results and is therefore a valuable method for the evaluation of the ulnar nerve irritation syndrome especially in cases of vague localisation of the nerve lesion.
