Summary:Cubital tunnel syndrome is the second most common compressive neuropathy. Its diagnosis is largely based on clinical findings. It has been well known that patients with mild to moderate grade of cubital tunnel syndrome have a high chance of spontaneous resolution, while those with severe degree do not. Thus, the former is treated with conservative methods initially, and the latter is indicated for surgical intervention. There are three types of surgical techniques for cubital tunnel syndrome. Of these, in-situ decompression technique has been gaining popularity as it is simpler and shows similar efficacy with less complications compared to other techniques. In this review, we deal with current concepts of the cubital tunnel syndrome pertaining to the primary clinical practice. KCI Citation Count: 0
