Hypoplasia of bilateral humeral trochlea associated with unilateral ulnar nerve neuritis. A case report.
On this paper the authors document a case of unilateral ulnar neuropathy that developed in a 56-year-old Japanese man who had bilateral hypoplasia of humeral trochlea and severe degenerative changes in the both elbow joints. The patient is the oldest in the reported cases. Pathomechanism of the nerve paresis in this peculiar condition is discussed.
