In all three cases we found that the nerve could be stabilized by the examiner’s hand by compression on the medial head of the triceps and lateral displacement. If this was done with the elbow extended, the nerve was stable in its proper position and flexion could then be done without any discomfort. On these grounds we developed a clinical test that we believe to be diagnostic for the situation: The examiner’s fingers and palm are positioned just proximally to the lateral and the thumb about five centimeters proximally to the medial humeral epicondyle. With the patient’s elbow in extension the ulnar nerve is pressed by the thumb to the medial head of the triceps and both pushed laterally while the lesser fingers apply counterpressure. The nerve is thus stabilized behind the medial epicondyle. Continuous flexion – extension of the elbow then performed should not elicit the symptoms as expected by the patient.
