When conservative treatment fails, standard open decompression of the nerve can be achieved by releasing the flexor retinaculum of the foot through a several-centimetre-long skin incision made along the tarsal tunnel. By contra…
To minimize damage to healthy tissues, we have been performing endoscopically assisted cubital tunnel syndrome surgery based on endoscopic nerve findings since 1995. This is the first study to focus on endoscopic surgery for cubital tunnel syndrome based on endoscopic ulnar nerve findings and the subsequent postoperative clinical results. We analysed 82 upper extremities of 74 cubital tunnel sy…
