Anterior submuscular transposition of the ulnar nerve for XXXX .

@entity1 @entity7769
48 @entity1 with 50 involved limbs were retrospectively analyzed to determine factors influencing the outcome of surgical treatment for @entity7769 . All @entity1 were treated by anterior submuscular transposition of the ulnar nerve with Z-lengthening of the flexor-pronator origin. There were 24 @entity1 and 24 @entity1 with an average age of 42 years +/- 16.4 years (range, 5-75 years). The average follow-up time was 58 months (range, 12-156 months). A grading system was used pre- and post-operatively based on the severity of subjective complaints and objective findings. 92% of the @entity1 were satisfied, or satisfied with some reservations, and only 8% were dissatisfied. All @entity1 had either fair or poor pre-operative grades. 84% had excellent or good post-operative grades and only 16% had fair grades. There were no recurrences or poor post-operative grades in our series. Workers' compensation status had no statistically significant adverse effect on post-operative @entity1 satisfaction or post-operative grade. Anterior submuscular transposition of the ulnar nerve in this series provided satisfactory subjective outcome, relief of symptoms and adequate decompression of the ulnar nerve at the elbow.
