Detailed explanation-1: -Tardy ulnar nerve palsy is a chronic clinical condition characterized by a delayed onset ulnar neuropathy after an injury to the elbow. Typically, tardy ulnar nerve palsy occurs as a consequence of nonunion of pediatric lateral condyle fractures at the elbow, which eventually lead to a cubitus valgus deformity.
Detailed explanation-2: -Ulnar nerve compression at the elbow is called cubital tunnel syndrome. Numbness and tingling in the hand and fingers are common symptoms of cubital tunnel syndrome. In most cases, symptoms can be managed with nonsurgical treatments like changes in activities and bracing.
Detailed explanation-3: -While ulnar nerve entrapment is usually not serious, it can have permanent consequences without prompt treatment, including paralysis and loss of feeling in the affected hand or arm. However, with proper diagnosis and treatment, most people with ulnar nerve entrapment can make a full recovery.
