BACKGROUND: There are two main surgical approaches, simple ulnar nerve decompression at the elbow, and anterior transposition of the nerve in treatment of @entity7769 . Both techniques were reported in literature in details with similar reported success rates. Here, we present a modified simple decompression surgical technique in treatment of @entity7769 . METHODS: Fifty eight @entity1 diagnosed with @entity7769 undergoing the presented technique were enrolled. This procedure consisted of ulnar nerve decompression at the elbow and a supplementary procedure of inter-muscular septum transverse cut between triceps and brachialis muscle above the elbow. RESULTS: Complete sensory recovery was observed in 35 (60.3%) @entity1 , however, mild and occasional sensory symptoms remained in 15 (25.9%), and moderate symptoms persisted in 6 (10.3%) @entity1 . In two @entity1 (3.4%), no sensory improvement was recorded. Post-operatively, muscular hypotrophy improved completely in 5 out of 12 @entity1 (41.7%). However, in the remaining 7 @entity1 (58.3%) with @entity2057 , motor recovery never took place. CONCLUSION: The presented modified simple decompression technique was shown to be an effective and safe procedure for the treatment of @entity7769 without any complications.
