However, recovery from mechanically induced CB has been rarely studied in humans. The aim of this study was to describe clinical, electrodiagnostic (EDx), and ultrasonographic (US) characteristics of CB recovery in ulnar neuropathy at the elbow (UNE).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>We recruited a group of consecutive patients presenting to our EDx laboratory with UNE and\u2009&gt;50% motor CB. Patients' histories were obtained and neurologic, EDx, and US examinations were repeated every 1\u20133\u2009mo for at least 12\u2009mo.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>We studied 10 patients (5 men), with a mean age of 63\u2009y (range, 51\u201381\u2009y). In all affected arms CB was localized to the retrocondylar groove. Following conservative management, myometrically measured index finger abduction improved from a median of 49% to 100% relative to the contralateral index finger, and ulnar nerve CB decreased from a median of 74% to 6%. Most of the improvement took place within 8\u2009mo of symptom onset, and 6\u2009mo after receiving treatment instructions. Mean motor nerve conduction velocity improved from 15 to 27\u2009m\/s in the most affected 2\u2010cm ulnar nerve segment.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The resolution of CB after typical chronic compression may take longer than after acute compression. This should be considered by clinicians when estimating prognosis for discussions with patients.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/mus.27928","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,8]],"date-time":"2023-07-08T10:46:02Z","timestamp":1688813162000},"page":"722-728","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Clinical and neurophysiological recovery of ulnar nerve conduction block at the elbow"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"68","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2541-0172","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Simon","family":"Podnar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Neurology, Institute of Clinical Neurophysiology University Medical Centre Ljubljana  Ljubljana Slovenia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gregor","family":"Omejec","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Neurology, Institute of Clinical Neurophysiology University Medical Centre Ljubljana  Ljubljana Slovenia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_2_1","first-page":"61","article-title":"Peripheral nerve injuries","volume":"139","author":"Seddon HJ","year":"1943","journal-title":"Glasgow Med J"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/jnnp.48.3.239"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/(SICI)1097-4598(200006)23:6<863::AID-MUS4>3.0.CO;2-0"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/jnnp.39.1.96"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/jnnp.33.5.625"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/jnnp.40.1.50"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_8_1","first-page":"S225","article-title":"Guidelines in electrodiagnostic medicine.
