2 Fig 1 The CSA of the ulnar nerve at 7 sites is depicted. NOTE. Values are mean mm2 ± SD. Next to the measurements are the corresponding ultrasonographic pictures. In these images the top corresponds to the skin surface and the left represents the right side of the body, similar to the standard viewing of an axial computed tomography. The arrow in each picture indicates the ulnar nerve. At the 2 most distal sites the ulnar artery (UA) can be seen, and at the most proximal site the brachial artery (BA) is adjacent to the ulnar and median (MN) nerves. The ulna (U), humerus (H), medial epicondyle (ME), flexor digitorum profundus (FDP), flexor digitorum superficialis (FDS), flexor carpi ulnaris (FCU), and brachialis (BR) are also depicted. These images were obtained with a Philips iU22 scanner.a Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation  , DOI: ( /j.apmr ) Copyright © 2007 American Congress of Rehabilitation Medicine and the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Terms and Conditions
