| Popis: |
Cubital tunnel syndrome is the second most common compressive neuropathy of the upper extremity. The literature reports a general success rate of primary surgery to be around 90%. Failure can be in two forms: incomplete release resulting in failure to improve and recurrent symptoms after an initial period of symptom improvement. If revision surgery is undertaken, the entire nerve should be explored and transposed anterior to the medial epicondyle. External neurolysis should be performed if significant perineural fibrosis exists, and the triceps should be addressed if the medial head is snapping over the medial epicondyle. In the setting of perineural fibrosis, consideration should be given to nerve wrap with synthetic material or autologous vein. |
