What are the symptoms of cubital tunnel?

What nerve is compressed in cubital tunnel?
Ulnar nerve
Who gets ulnar compression of Guyon’s canal

What injury might result from an eversion injury of the ankle
Deltoid ligament
What nerve is the cutaneous supply to the medial side of the leg?

Where in the humerus might a fracture cause damage to the radial nerve
Midshaft fracture of humerus
What nerve might be damaged in a fracture of the anatomical neck of the humerus?
Axillary
What nerve might be damaged in a supracondylar fracture of humerus?
Medial nerve and brachial artery
What nerve causes wrist drop?
