The Different Types of Hypermobility in Adults

In cubital tunnel syndrome, one may note subluxation of the ulnar nerve over the medial epicondyle with the elbow moving from extension to flexion. This hypermobility occurs in about 33% of adults and it is not necessarily associated with cubital Tunnel Syndrome. In lateral epicondylitis, there will be point tenderness at the ECRB insertion into the lateral epicondyle. A soft endpoint indicates an infusion or capsular tightness, whereas a firm endpoint indicates a mechanical block such as from a loose body,. Check for any crepitus and mechanical blocks.
