✦ Synopsis

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 to external compression above the elbow than previously recognized. Short segment incremental studies are useful to identify conduction block above the elbow in such patients.

## Abstract Short‐segment nerve conduction studies were performed in 17 limbs with clinical features suggestive of ulnar neuropathy at the elbow. Recording from flexor carpi ulnaris yielded 93% sensitivity, compared with 71.4% when recording from abductor digiti minimi. The rationale underlying the
