Ulnar Neuropathy Hydrodissection With Platelet Lysate and Prolotherapy: A Case Series and Review of the Literature

This case series highlights both pain and function outcomes of three patients who underwent hydrodissection of the ulnar nerve with platelet lysate and prolotherapy for symptomatic ulnar nerve entrapment of the elbow. All patients reported significant long-term symptom improvement, which reached more than 75% regarding pain and function and greater than 80% Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (SANE) evaluation at the follow-up. The outcomes of this case series suggest that hydrodissection with platelet lysate and dextrose neuroprolotherapy may provide an alternative viable non-surgical treatment option for patients with ulnar neuropathy.
