| Abstract: | Most cases of compression of the ulnar nerve at the elbow are due to pressure by a transverse band between the heads of the flexor carpi ulnaris.Two forms can be recognised: Acute on chronic compression lesions, and acute on normal ulnar nerve lesions.Compression can also occur in cases of recurrent subluxation of the nerve.Treatment is by decompression of the nerve by division of the band. Recurrence should be prevented by suturing the band together beneath the nerve. |
