Abstract

The double crush syndrome hypothesis was first presented by Upton in 1973. Since then many reports have been made concerning this syndrome. However there are few reports about the double crush syndrome in cubital tunnel syndrome.<br>We studied cubital tunnel syndromes associated with cervical lesions. Thirty-three patients (thirty-eight hands) with cubital tunnel syndrome, followed for over one year postoperatively, were divided into two groups. Group one had cervical lesions with neurological findings and the other group had no cervical lesions.<br>Both groups were examined and clinically and electrophysiologically evaluated.<br>Cervical lesions were recognized in seven hands (five cases). Results in the group with cervical lesions were worse than those without cervical lesions in both clinical and electrophysiological evaluations.
