When discussing the pathophysiology of ulnar neuropathy, Geoffrey Vaughan Osborne described a fibrous band that can be responsible for the symptoms seen in this disorder. In this paper, we take a glimpse at the life of Osborne and review the anatomy and surgical significance of Osborne's ligament. This band of tissue connects the two heads of the flexor carpi ulnaris and thus forms the roof of the cubital tunnel. To our knowledge, no prior publication has reviewed the history of this ligament, and very few authors have studied its anatomy in any detail. Therefore, the aim of the present paper is to elucidate this structure that is often implicated and surgically transected to decompress the ulnar nerve at the elbow.
在讨论尺神经病变的病理生理学过程中，杰弗里·沃恩·奥斯本描述了一条纤维带，它可能是导致该疾病所见症状的原因。在本文中，我们简要了解一下奥斯本的生平，并回顾奥斯本韧带的解剖结构及其手术意义。这条组织带连接尺侧腕屈肌的两个头，从而形成肘管的顶部。据我们所知，此前没有出版物回顾过这条韧带的历史，而且很少有作者对其解剖结构进行过详细研究。因此，本文的目的是阐明这种常被牵涉且在手术中被切断以松解肘部尺神经的结构。
