Hello...just a mention that this article incorrectly identifies the nerve possibly entrapped as the "median nerve". It should refer to the ulnar nerve. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.165.238.104 (talk) 19:21, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Arcade of Struthers vs Struthers ligament

[edit]

I think some of the confusion, as above, is due to Arcade vs. Ligament confusion. There needs to be expansion on this confusing issue. There were apparently 2 distinct eponymous structures, with the ligament being directly described by Struthers and the arcade being post-humously connected to him. There is much more controversy surrounding the arcade, including controversy about its existence and about the term "arcade." Dr G (talk) 23:05, 8 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, the ligament of Struthers should not be confused with the arcade of Struthers which is a site of ulnar compression in cubital tunnel syndrome.
