Ulnar nerve compression can occur at the elbow (the cubital tunnel) or at the wrist (in the Guyon canal) and can lead to degeneration of intrinsic hand muscles.

In many cases, findings from electrodiagnostic tests are normal because these dynamic syndromes frequently improve or resolve at rest; however, in some instances, these tests may reveal an unrecordable evoked response or a prolonged distal latency of a segment of the nerve and thus help better define the zone of compression. The lateral branch exits about the anterior TT and innervates the extensor digitorum brevis (EDB) and extensor hallucis brevis (EHB) muscles. Hand Clin.

A superficial peroneal SNAP is important, and an abnormality of the sensory evoked response implies that the lesion is distal to the dorsal root ganglion, though it does not completely rule out an L5 radiculopathy.

St Louis: Mosby-Year Book; 2000. [QxMD MEDLINE Link]. Some reports stated that there may be a high percentage of denervation in the foot intrinsic muscles in healthy subjects, but subsequent reports found that the actual percentage of abnormal findings in healthy subjects is low for a well-trained electromyographer. [35] In addition, Resch et al found that MRI modalities had little or no value in the diagnosis of interdigital neuritis, because of the high rate of false-negative results. High ulnar nerve injury results in paralysis of the flexor carpi ulnaris (FCU) and the ulnar half of the flexor FDPs, generally FDPs III-V. [QxMD MEDLINE Link].

The flexor digitorum brevis (FDB) muscle lies immediately superior to the plantar aponeurosis and inferior to the tendons of the flexor digitorum longus in the sole of the foot.

Later, it courses through the radial tunnel formed by the humeral and ulnar head of the supinator muscle and continues between the extensor digitorum longus and abductor pollicis longus (or extensor pollicis brevis) muscles before diving to run on top of the interosseous membrane, a fibrous tissue that connects the radius to the ulna . CT and MRI are helpful in finding a compressive lesion along the course of the common peroneal nerve in cases in which this is suspected. The distal latency may be prolonged if entrapment is present in the anterior tarsal tunnel region, and the NCV is decreased across the leg region if the entrapment or injury is more proximal.
