Almost one-quarter of our healthy population had an ultrasound cross-sectional area ulnar nerve more than 8 mm2 and few more than 10 mm2. A cut-off of ultrasound cross-sectional area ulnar nerve measurement more than 10 mm2 could be considered as pathological. No abnormal elbow ulnar nerve vascularization has been seen. This is the first step towards normal B-mode ulnar nerve values at the elbow to further detect pathological US findings as ulnar nerve entrapment.
