Causes of Cubital Tunnel Syndrome
The condition is primarily caused by the constriction of the ulnar nerve as environmental factors assist in doing so. This is mostly associated with the increase exposure of the elbow from hard surfaces and from its increased flexion and extension movements. Increasing pressure at the ulnar nerve can precipitate to the development of the condition. Frequent bending of the elbow does pave a way for developing cubital tunnel syndrome. Because of this, depletion of the purpose of the ulnar nerve is attained.
