This site explains all aspects of a new endoscopic treatment of cubital tunnel surgery developed by Dr. Reimer Hoffmann.

The reason to come to this website maybe that you or one of your relatives or friends have been diagnosed with Cubital Tunnel Syndrome.

Cubital Tunnel Syndrome is the term used for the symptoms caused by ulnar nerve compression in the elbow/forearm region. It is the second most frequent peripheral nerve entrapment syndrome.

Ulnar nerve compression leads to tingling (needles and pins) in the small and ring fingers and in a later stage to complete loss of sensation and to weakness and paralysis of the hand.

The cause of this nerve problem is often unknown, young and old otherwise healthy individuals may be affected. Cubital Tunnel Syndrome can be associated with previous elbow trauma, elbow osteoarthritis and diabetic neuropathy.
