lectrophysiological examination was used in 15 cases of cubital tunnel syndrome before andduring opcration. The velocity, latency and amplitude of the conduction of the ulnar nerve 5cm aboveand below the elbew joint were measured by surface electrodes and direct stimulation. There is nosignificant difference(P gt; 0.5 )between the results from the two kinds of testing. After the ulnarnerve was decompressed from the cubital tunnel, the conduction velocity increased by 50%, latency shortenee by 40%, the improvement in conduciton velocity being particularly significant(P  lt; 0.02). which show that conduction velocity is a relatively sensitive testing parameter. Electrophysiological examination plays a monitoring role during cubital tunnel syndrome decompression.
