  • Title: [Results of surgical therapy of ulnar sulcus syndrome. Submuscular anterior transposition versus simple decompression of the ulnar nerve].
    Author: Bimmler D, von Wartburg U, Frick TW, Meyer VE.
    Journal: Helv Chir Acta; 1993 Mar; 59(4):697-700. PubMed ID: 8473194.
    Abstract:
    The operative treatment of the ulnar neuropathy at the elbow is controversial. We studied the course of 79 patients who had been operated for the first time, either by simple decompression (31 cases) or by submuscular anterior transposition (48 cases) of the ulnar nerve. Our results show that the simple decompression can be recommended in all patients without cubital (sub)luxation of the ulnar nerve. The submuscular anterior transposition should be preferred if a tendency of cubital (sub)luxation of the ulnar nerve has been found.
