Popis:	The sulcus of the elbow-joint represents a bottleneck which may cause compression of the ulnar nerve. We studied clinical and electroneurographical results in 26 patients after operation of the sulcus ulnaris-syndrome. The influence of the duration of compression as well as additional illnesses was evaluated on the postoperative result. The surgical treatment was an anterior transposition of the nerve in a subcutaneous layer combined with external neurolysis. Due to the symptoms and the electroneurographical results after operation the patients were divided into three groups. The best results were obtained in cases with a short period of preoperative complaints (below 1 year). Although heavy work had a positive effect on the manifestation of a sulcus ulnaris-syndrome, it had no adverse effect if started again after operation. Anterior subcutaneous transposition is the operative procedure of choice in cases of sulcus ulnaris-syndrome.
