Endoscopic Ulnar Nerve Release and Transposition: Two Portal Technique

Margaret Woon Man Fok, Gregory I. Bain

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

Endoscopic cubital tunnel release has gained popularity in recent years. Numerous case series, comparative studies, and meta-analysis have shown promising results as compared with open decompression in situ. Yet in situations where anterior transposition is needed, the ulnar nerve may still be transposed under endoscopic guidance, by the creation of an additional volar portal. This chapter describes its indications, technical tips, and potential complications of ulnar nerve endoscopy.
