[Clinical and neurologic results after surgical management of the cubital tunnel syndrome].

Fourty-two patients suffering from cubital tunnel syndrome were reexamined after anterior subcutaneous transposition of the ulnar nerve. In 25 patients, electrophysiological results could be compared pre- and postoperatively. Only few patients recovered completely, however, electrophysiological results showed an improvement in most of the patients. Sensory velocity proved to be more sensitive than motor velocity. We advice patients for early operation to avoid aggravation of symptoms, even if remission will be incomplete.
