| dc.description.abstract | Abstract Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the factors which influenced Cubital Tunnel Syndrome and the cases that were treated. Materials and Methods: 34 hands of 31 cases who had been treated (operated/non-operated) between January 2011 and January 2016 due to Cubital Tunnel Syndrome and who had sufficient follow-ups were included in the study. The cases were analyzed in terms of their clinical and demographic characteristics. The data obtained were analyzed through SPSS system. Shapiro-Wilk test was used to find out whether the data were normally distributed. The data which were normally distributed were expressed as average±standard deviation and those which were not normally distributed were expressed as mean (min-max). Results: 18 (58.1%) of the cases were women, while 13 (41.9%) were men and the average age was 43.54±16.50 years. The majority of the cases consisted of workers (12-38.7%) and housewives (11-35.5%). 6 (19.4%) cases had hypertension, 3 (9.7%) cases had diabetes, 3 (9.7%) cases had hyperlipidemia and 3 (9.7%) cases had metabolic syndrome. Entrapment was located at the left elbow in 21 (61.8%) cases, at the right elbow in 13 (38.2%) cases, at the dominant extremity in 15 (44.1%) cases, and located 2 cm. up in 21 (61.8%) cases and 2 cm. down in 10 (29.4%) cases. 3 (9.7%) cases who did not respond to conservative treatment and who had advanced stage symptoms and complaints were operated. Improvement was seen in the cases who were followed for an average of 15 (3-60) months. Conclusion: According to the results of the study, we are of the opinion that treatment success will increase by planning the treatment after finding out the factors that influence Cubital Tunnel Syndrome.

| dc.description.abstract | Öz Amaç: Çalışmamızda Kubital Tünel Sendromu nedeni ile opere/nonopere tedavi edilen olguların özellikleri ile etki eden faktörlerin değerlendirilmesi amaçlandı. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Ocak 2011 ile Ocak 2016 yılları arasında Kubital Tünel Sendromu nedeniyle opere/nonopere tedavi edilen ve yeterli takipleri olan 31 olgunun 34 eli çalışmaya dahil edildi. Olgular klinik ve demografik özellikleri açısından incelendi. Elde edilen veriler SPSS sistemine yüklenerek analiz edildi. Verilerin normal dağılıma uyup uymadığı Shapiro-Wilk testi ile değerlendirildi. Elde edilen veriler içerisinde normal dağılıma uyan veriler ortalama±standart sapma şeklinde, normal dağılıma uymayan veriler ise ortanca (min-max) şeklinde ifade edildi. Bulgular: Kubital Tünel Sendromu tanısı alan olguların 18’i (%58.1) kadın, 13’ü (%41.9) erkek olup yaş ortalaması ise 43.54±16.50 yıl idi. Tanı konulan olguların çoğunluğu işçilerden (12- %38.7) ve ev hanımlarından (11-%35.5) oluşmakta idi. Serimizdeki 6 (%19.4) olguda hipertansiyon, 3 (%9.7) olguda diyabet, 3 (%9.7) olguda hiperlipidemi ve 3 olguda (%9.7) metabolik sendrom mevcuttu. Ulnar sinirin tuzaklanması 21 (61.8) olguda sol dirsekte, 13 (%38.2) olguda sağ dirsekte, 15 (%44.1) olguda dominant ekstremiteye ait dirsekte, 21 (61.8) olguda dirsek üst 2 cm. ve 10 (%29.4) olguda dirsek alt 2 cm. yerleşimli idi. Konservatif tedaviye cevap vermeyen ileri evre semptom ve şikayetleri olan 3 (%9.7) olgu opere edildi. Kubital Tünel Sendromu tanısı ile tedavi sonrası ortalama 15 (3-60) ay takip edilen olgularda iyileşme gözlendi ve herhangi bir olumsuz komplikasyon ile karşılaşılmadı. Sonuç: Yapmış olduğumuz araştırmadan elde edilen sonuçlara göre, Kubital Tünel Sendromu tanısı konulan olguların özellikleri ve etki eden faktörler göz önüne alınarak yapılan uygun opere/nonopere tedavi planlanması ile tedavi başarısının artacağı kanaatindeyiz.
