Abstract EN
Variations of the anterior transposition of the ulnar nerve for cubital tunnel syndrome include subcutaneous, submuscular, intramuscular, and subfascial methods.
We introduce a modification of subfascial transposition, which is designed to facilitate nerve gliding by wrapping the nerve with fascia.
Twenty patients with wrapping surgery following the diagnosis of cubital tunnel syndrome were reviewed retrospectively.
Preoperative electrodiagnostic studies were performed in all patients and all of them were rechecked postoperatively.
The preoperative mean value of motor conduction velocity (MCV) was 37.1 ± 6.7 m/s within the elbow segment and this result showed a decrease compared to the result of MCV with 53.9 ± 6.9 m/s in the below the elbow-wrist segment with statistical significance ( P < 0.05 ).
Postoperative mean values of MCV were improved in all of 20 patients to 47.6 ± 5.5 m/s ( P < 0.05 ).
19 patients of 20 (95%) reported good or excellent clinical outcomes according to a modified Bishop scoring system.
The surgical treatment methods for cubital tunnel syndrome have their own advantages and disadvantages, and the preferred method differs depending on the surgeon.
The wrapping method of anterior transposition is a newly designed alternative method modified from subfascial transposition.
This method could be an alternative option to treat cubital tunnel syndrome.
