Epidemiology
Ulnar neuropathy occurs more frequently in men than in women, despite the fact that there are no significant gender differences in the anatomical course of the ulnar nerve. However, the tubercle of the coronoid process is larger and the nerve and blood vessels passing by it are less protected by subcutaneous fat in men than in women. These two anatomical differences between men and women may contribute to the increased frequency of ulnar neuropathy induced by external compression-induced restriction in blood supply at the medial aspect of the elbow in men.
