Abstract

Cubital tunnel syndrome is the second most common compressive neuropathy in the upper extremity. Decompression of the ulnar nerve at the elbow is indicated when conservative therapies failed. However, in the situation where the affected ulnar nerve is subluxatable, anterior transposition is warranted in order to achieve a sustainable good outcome. Traditionally surgical decompression and anterior transposition are performed in an open method. As the endoscopic techniques have evolved (Hoffmann and Siemionow, JHSB. 31:23–29, 2006), the nerve can now be decompressed and transpose, with minimally invasive techniques (Watts and Bain, JHSA. 34:1492–1498, 2009).
