Surgical procedures for cubital tunnel syndrome. The combined clinical success rates for each of the commonly performed surgical procedures used for cubital tunnel syndrome are similar. a Simple decompression, 86%; b medial epicondylectomy, 89%; c intramuscular transposition, 85%; d submuscular transposition, 85%; e subcutaneous transposition, 76%. It is difficult for the student of peripheral nerve surgery to select a procedure for a specific patient based on these reports alone. Reprinted with permission [14].
