Ulnar nerve entrapment is a condition where the ulnar nerve becomes trapped or pinched due to some physiological abnormalities.
Classification
Ulnar nerve entrapment is classified by location of entrapment. The ulnar nerve passes through several small tunnels and outlets through the medial upper extremity, and at these points the nerve is vulnerable to compression or entrapment—a so-called "pinched nerve". The nerve is particularly vulnerable to injury when there has been a disruption in the normal anatomy. The most common site of ulnar nerve entrapment is at the elbow, followed by the wrist.
Ulnar entrapment can also be classified by specific local causes, including:
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a medical condition in which the median nerve is compressed as it travels through the wrist at the carpal tunnel and causes pain, numbness and tingling, in the part of the hand that receives sensation from the median nerve. Pain may extend up the arm leading to discomfort extending to the shoulder and forearm. The mechanism of injury is compression; there are a variety of contributing factors. Some of the individual predisposing factors include: diabetes, obesity, pregnancy, hypothyroidism, and a narrow-diameter carpal tunnel. CTS may also result from an injury that causes internal scarring or mis-aligned wrist bones. Occupational causes involve use of the hand and arm, such as heavy manual work, work with vibrating tools, and highly repetitive tasks even if they involve low force motions.
The main symptom of CTS is intermittent numbness of the thumb, index, and middle (long) fingers and the radial (thumb) side of the ring finger. The numbness often occurs at night, with hypothesized reasons related to sleep position, such as the wrists being held flexed during sleep or sleeping on one's side. It can be relieved by wearing a wrist splint that prevents flexion. Long-standing CTS leads to permanent nerve damage with constant numbness, atrophy of some of the muscles of the thenar eminence, and weakness of palmar abduction (see carpometacarpal joint §Movements).
He’s just my guy ... He was diagnosed with Cubical Tunnel Syndrome, which happens when the ulnar nerve, which passes through the cubital tunnel (a tunnel of muscle, ligament, and bone) on the inside of the elbow, becomes inflamed, swollen, and irritated.
Although smartphone pinky appears debunked, the surgeon says “smartphone elbow” — known medically as cubital tunnel syndrome — is quite real ... trigger finger and carpal tunnel syndrome.
So, too, are carpal tunnel syndrome and cubital tunnel syndrome, both of which were suspected at various points.) A year into my pain, I was still searching for a cure, pursuing every treatment, supplement and crank self-help book I could.
... is one of the main culprits for carpal tunnel syndrome ... The most common conditions that require nerve gliding exercises are carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, piriformis, and sciatica.
However, prolonged or persistent pain can occur with cubital tunnel syndrome, which occurs when the cubital tunnel becomes inflamed, swollen, or irritated, often because of injury. .
Cubital tunnel syndrome is much less common than carpal tunnel syndrome, but both of these syndromes involve the compression of a nerve, causing symptoms of a damaged nerve (neuropathy).

Another visible feature of the 3D image is what the researchers call “text claw”, also called cubital tunnel syndrome — a nerve condition in the elbow that produces numbness in the fingers — caused by using the smart phone constantly.
