Abstract:
Superficial anterior transposition of the ulnar nerve at the elbow was carried out for ulnar neuritis in 18 extremities. Epineural neurolysis and superficial stabilization by suture of the epineurium to the fascia were performed in all cases. The procedure, as described, prevents muscle scarring, kinking of the nerve over the intermuscular septum, and fascial sling. It does not require muscular dissection and allows rapid return to occupational and athletic activity. Our 83% good or excellent results compares favorably with other series in the literature.
