Abstract

Superior success with the anterior submuscular transposition, compared to the subcutaneous transposition in the treatment of the ulnar nerve entrapment at the elbow, published by our department in 1974 and 1980 [3, 4] led us to apply this technique to any stage of this entrapment syndrome when the indication for operative therapy was given. Only 12 out of the 146 patients we operated on during the past 10 years were treated by medial epicondylectomy.
