Anterior transposition of the ulnar nerve at the elbow produces generally good results regardless of whether the nerve is transposed subcutaneously, intramuscularly, or submuscularly. The eventual recovery of nerve function is related less to the specific surgical technique than to the severity of the intrinsic nerve pathology. A primary variable in surgical management is the duration of postoperative elbow immobilization. The purpose of this study was to review the longterm results of a specific technique of subcutaneous anterior transposition of the ulnar nerve that utilizes a stabilizing fasciodermal sling. The study compared the results of immediate and late institution of a range of motion postoperatively.
