We performed short segment incremental stimulation on 13 consecutive patients with ulnar neuropathy across the elbow (UNE) and conduction block. Conduction block occurred proximal to the medial epicondyle in 62%, at the epicondyle in 23%, and below the elbow in 15%. The ulnar nerve may be more prone

## Abstract The aim of the study was to assess the diagnostic value of shortβsegment nerve conduction studies (NCS) at 2βcm intervals from 4 cm above to 4 cm below the medial epicondyle in a large group of patients with ulnar neuropathy at the elbow (UNE). Furthermore, we wanted to compare electrod
## Abstract A MartinβGruber anastomosis (MGA) commonly results in an abnormal decline in amplitude across the forearm segment when ulnar motor nerve conduction studies are performed. A recent report described a proximal MGA resembling partial conduction block in a patient with ulnar neuropathy at t
