German term or phrase: Sulcus-Ulnaris-Syndrom
Hi,
Can anyone help with this from a surgical report.
The diagnosis is Sulcus-Ulnaris-Syndrom.
I have seen sulcus ulnaris syndrome before, but want to make sure that this is the correct English term.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

cubital tunnel syndrome


Explanation:
Hi, Nicholas,

My German is extremely basic but being that "Sulcus-Ulnaris [Syndrom]" is Latin, while the name in English does indeed exist as well, as Kim suggests, I'm pretty sure that the most common term for this affection is "cubital tunnel syndrome".

Good luck,

Elena
