    Summary

    Tardy ulnar nerve palsy in children, often linked to elbow injuries, can be effectively treated. Anterior transposition surgery led to quick symptom recovery in young patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Orthopedics
    • Neurology
    • Traumatology

    Background:

    • Tardy ulnar nerve palsy is rare in children.
    • Lesions often involve both lateral and medial elbow structures following injury.
    • Latency periods vary, ranging from 2 to 29 months post-injury.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the characteristics and treatment outcomes of tardy ulnar nerve palsy in pediatric patients.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of anterior transposition in managing this condition.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective case series analysis of five pediatric patients with tardy ulnar nerve palsy.
    • Surgical intervention involving anterior transposition of the ulnar nerve.

    Main Results:

    • All five cases presented with ulnar nerve palsy after elbow trauma.
    • Symptomatic and clinical improvements were observed following anterior transposition.
    • Younger age and shorter palsy duration correlated with prompt recovery.

    Conclusions:

    • Anterior transposition is an effective treatment for pediatric tardy ulnar nerve palsy.
    • Prompt surgical intervention may lead to favorable outcomes in children.
    • Understanding the injury mechanism and nerve involvement is crucial for management.
