Description

One hundred-forty two patients (156 elbows) who were treated by surgical methods were reviewed retrospectively for cubital tunnel syndrome. Results were graded as excellent in 58 elbows (37%), good in 73 (47%), fair in 25 (16%), and poor in 0 (0%). Of the 25 fair elbows, 17 patients (21 elbows) were reviewed in detail. All patients were rated as grade 3 according to McGowan's classification. Many of these patients were accompanied by osteoarthritis of the elbows, valgus deformity due to lateral epicondylar fracture or pseudoarthrosis of the humerus, pyogenic arthritis, diabetes mellitus, and cervical spondylosis. Minimal invasive surgery is recommended because cubital tunnel syndrome may occur post surgically in some cases.
