Zusammenfassung:	Highlights ► This study, designed according to the STARD initiative criteria, explored the usefulness of several types of ultrasonographic ulnar nerve size measurements in the diagnosis of ulnar neuropathy at the elbow. ► The diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonography in ulnar neuropathy at the elbow was lower than previously reported. ► Ultrasonographic ulnar nerve diameter, cross-sectional area and swelling ratio measurements are equally useful in diagnosing ulnar neuropathy at the elbow.
