The Elbow

Tinel sign of the Ulnar nerve

Technique

Percussion on het cubital fossa and more distally between the ulnar and humeral heads of the flexor carpi ulnaris may provoke paraesthesia distal in the innervation area of the ulnar nerve.

Use the middle finger. Hard knocking is not necessary.

The sensation is felt distally and not at the level of the percussion.
