BACKGROUND: According to some studies, @entity1897 healing is prolonged in elderly @entity1 . @entity7577 in the elbow (UNE) is the second most common @entity2850 . To our knowledge, no study has investigated the effect of age on the postoperative @entity3165 repair rate. Our aim was to evaluate age-related differences in the electrophysiological parameters before and approximately 100  days after operations for @entity7769 . METHODS: This retrospective study included 103 @entity1 who underwent in situ ulnar nerve decompressions in the elbow. The included @entity1 suffered from paraesthesia and @entity1183 in their ulnar nerve distribution, @entity1184 , and weakening of the hand muscles, which were innervated by the ulnar nerve. Concurrently, these @entity1 met the EGM diagnostic criteria for UNE. The age dependency on the differences between the preoperative and postoperative parameter values that were measured during the conductive studies was estimated using a regression analysis. RESULTS: A statistically significant deceleration of the monitored parameter adaptation, which included segmental conduction velocity in the elbow area and @entity13432 amplitude during the above-elbow stimulation of the ulnar nerve, was found. CONCLUSIONS: @entity3165 repair in the cubital tunnel area after a UNE operation proceeds significantly slower in elderly @entity1 .
