“…Consistent with the literature, the electrodiagnostic results did not predict post-surgical outcomes [Seradge and Owen, 1998;Novak et al, 2002]. The interpretation of this finding should take into consideration the variable sensitivity [Britz et al, 1996;Landau et al, 2003] of these tests especially in the early stages of UNE when symptoms tend to be intermittent.…”

“…For partial epicondylectomy, improvement percentages have been reported as 67% good to excellent results in 27 patients [21], 75% good to excellent results in 60 patients [30], 75% good to excellent results in 55 patients [37], 79% good to excellent results in 80 patients [8], and 80% good to excellent results in 45 patients [28]. Several studies have shown that after total epicondylectomy, patients experienced an overall subjective improvement of approximately 90% [9,14,16,25,40]. In studies of anterior transposition of ulnar nerve in patients with severe-stage cubital tunnel syndrome, the improvement percentages were reported as 72% to 100% [12,13,15,23].…”

Background Previous studies of minimal medial epicondylectomy for cubital tunnel syndrome included patients with mild disease, making it difficult to determine how much this procedure improved sensory and motor impairments in patients with moderate to severe disease. Questions/purposes We asked if minimal epicondylectomy improved sensory and motor impairments in patients with moderate to severe cubital tunnel syndrome. Methods We retrospectively reviewed 25 patients treated with minimal medial epicondylectomy for advanced cubital tunnel syndrome involving motor weakness between

“…Much of the controversy of the operative procedure for carpal tunnel syndrome is the method by which to release the ligament but most surgeons would agree that successful management of patients with carpal tunnel syndrome depends on complete release of the flexor retinaculum [1,3,6,17,22]. In contrast for cubital tunnel syndrome, there are numerous operative procedures that have been described for the treatment of cubital tunnel syndrome ranging from simple decompression, medial epicondylectomy to transposition of the ulnar nerve [2,4,7,9,12,13,14,15,16,19,21,23,24,25,26,27,29,30,31]. These procedures vary not only in surgical technique but also in the correction of the etiologic factors.…”

The purpose of this study was to investigate the primary operative procedures that are performed by hand surgeons for cubital tunnel syndrome and their reported satisfaction with these procedures. The survey consisted of 22 questions regarding primary operative treatment of cubital tunnel syndrome and demographics and was sent by email to the 459 active members of the American Association for Hand Surgery. One hundred sixty-four surgeons completed the survey (36% response rate). The total sample included 154 hand surgeons (143 males, 11 females) who operated on cubital tunnel syndrome and the majority of surgeons were in private practice (n=100) followed by academic practice (n=50). The most prevalent factors that influence the decision to operate include evidence of muscle atrophy (84%), abnormal nerve conduction studies (51%), and failed non-operative treatment (49%). Most surgeons (n=133) reported using more than one operative procedure for their patients with cubital tunnel syndrome. Factors that influenced the operative procedure selected included the degree of nerve compression (60%), medical comorbidities (30%), patient's occupation (28%), and obesity (22%). Following carpal tunnel surgery, 88% of the surgeons were "very satisfied" with their patient outcome and following surgery for cubital tunnel syndrome, only 44% were "very satisfied" with their patient outcome. Most surgeons use more than one operative procedure in their treatment of patients with cubital tunnel syndrome and the selection of the operative procedure is influenced by patient factors and surgeon preference.
