متن کاملModified simple decompression in the treatment of cubital tunnel syndrome: avoiding ulnar nerve subluxation.
Objective In this study, we propose a modification to the simple decompression technique that contains the ulnar nerve in the cubital fossa, thus preventing subluxation during forearm flexion movements.

متن کاملPredictors of surgical outcomes after in situ ulnar nerve decompression for cubital tunnel syndrome
Background In the treatment of cubital tunnel syndrome (CuTS), in situ ulnar nerve decompression is commonly used. This study aims to investigate predictive factors for poor recovery and ulnar nerve instability following this procedure. Methods We enrolled 235 patients who underwent in situ ulnar nerve decompression for the treatment of CuTS from January 2010 to December 2014. All patients un...
