Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: To summarize the clinical research progress of surgical procedures for cubital tunnel syndrome. METHODS: The related literature on surgical procedures for cubital tunnel syndrome was summarized and analyzed. RESULTS: Multiple surgical procedures have been applied to treat cubital tunnel syndrome, including simple decompression, subcutaneous transposition, submuscular transposition, medial epicondylectomy, intramuscular transposition, and ulnar groove plasty. Each procedure has its own advantages and disadvantages. With the development of minimally invasive surgical technique, endoscope-assisted surgery has been gradually applied to treat cubital tunnel syndrome. CONCLUSIONS: Optimal surgical procedure remains controversial and individualized treatment decision based on patient's clinical conditions is recommended.
