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.
