A clinical and electrophysiological followup study was done on 23 patients with ulnar neuritis treated by surgical transposition of the nerve at the elbow. Pain was relieved in all those affected and other sensory symptoms showed some degree of improvement in most. Weakness tended to persist, but recovery of full use of the hand followed operation in 74%. Muscle wasting was the least likely to improve. The chance of recovery after operation was greatly reduced in patients in whom preoperative symptoms had been present for more than one year.
对23例因尺神经炎在肘部行神经移位术治疗的患者进行了临床和电生理随访研究。所有患者的疼痛均得到缓解,多数患者的其他感觉症状有一定程度改善。无力症状往往持续存在,但74%的患者术后手部功能完全恢复。肌肉萎缩最不易改善。术前症状持续超过一年的患者术后恢复的可能性大大降低。
