Ulnar nerve compression at Guyon's canal by an anomalous abductor digiti minimi muscle: the role of ultrasound in clinical diagnosis
Hand Surg.
2003 Dec.
Abstract
Anomalous variations of abductor digiti minimi are commonly found at Guyon's canal but rarely cause ulnar nerve compression. We report such a case with particular emphasis on the effectiveness of ultrasound to detect and delineate anatomical structures in this region.
