How Ulnar Nerve Decompression and Anterior Transposition is performed
This procedure aims to relieve pressure on the ulnar nerve in the cubital tunnel and, if necessary, move the nerve forward to a more relaxed and stable path. The common practice is to gradually release the compression points under microscopic magnification, protect the nerve's blood supply and branches, and assess sliding; if there is bouncing or instability, subcutaneous, intramuscular, or submuscular transposition is selected and fixed with soft tissue. Medial epicondylectomy can be combined according to individual anatomy. Postoperatively, pain, sensation, and small muscle strength are monitored, and gentle activity is initiated as early as possible under guidance to reduce scar adhesion. The above is general health information and not medical advice; specific information is subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
