Suspected ulnar neuropathy at the elbow is commonly evaluated in the electromyography lab. In this report the anatomy and pathology of ulnar elbow lesions are reviewed. The patterns of electrophysiologic abnormality that have been reported in the literature and in the author's own laboratory are discussed along with a suggested routine for evaluation.
