Abstract:
Elbow arthrolysis is the most commonly used treatment for elbow stiffness. Ulnar nerve complications are one of the most important evaluation indicators of postoperative health status. However, there is no consensus on the management of ulnar nerve and the control of surgical indications. Combining relevant literature and clinical experience, this review discussed the necessity of ulnar nerve release and the choice of ulnar nerve operations during elbow arthrolysis with or without preoperative ulnar nerve symptoms. It is considered that more attention should be paid to the management of ulnar nerve complications and further research should be performed.
