Cubital tunnel syndrome. Part II: Treatment.

Abstract

Conservative management has been successful for mild cases of cubital tunnel syndrome. If conservative treatment fails and clinical signs of nerve dysfunction or electrophysiologic abnormalities are present, surgical decompression should be considered. The indications for and results of simple decompression, anterior transposition (subcutaneous, submuscular, or intramuscular), and medial epicondylectomy, as well as associated complications, are reviewed.
