Guyon canal refers to the ulnar tunnel at the wrist named for the French surgeon
Jean Casimir Félix Guyon, who described this space in 1861. After Guyon's
description, clinicians have focused their interest on symptoms caused by
compression of structures occupying this canal (later named ulnar tunnel syndrome
or Guyon syndrome). However, disagreement and confusion persisted over the
correct anatomical boundaries and terminology used to describe the ulnar tunnel.
Through anatomical investigation and evolving clinical case studies, the current
understanding of the anatomy of the ulnar tunnel was established. This article
examines the evolution of the anatomical description of the ulnar tunnel and its
relevant clinical associations and casts light on the life and contributions of
Guyon.
