Background This study was designed to investigate whether intraoperative electrical nerve stimulation has effects on the short-term recovery of cubital tunnel syndrome patients after ulnar nerve release. Methods Patients diagnosed as cubital tunnel syndrome were selected. At the same time, they received conventional surgery treatment. The patients were divided by a randomized digits table into two groups. The control group underwent conventional surgery, and the electrical stimulation (ES) group underwent intraoperative electrical stimulation. All the patients were tested for sensory and motor functions, grip strength, key pinch strength, motor conductivity velocity (MCV), and maximum compound muscle action potential (CMAP) before operation and 1 month and 6 months after operation. Results In patients treated with intraoperative ES, the sensory and motor functions and the strength of muscle were significantly improved after 1-month and 6-month follow-up than the control group. After the follow-up, the patients in the ES group had significantly higher grip strength and key pinch strength than the control group. After the follow-up, the patients in the ES group had significantly higher MCV and CMAP than the control group. Conclusion Intraoperative electrical stimulation of nerve muscle can significantly promote the short-term recovery of nerve and muscle functions after the surgery in cubital tunnel syndrome patients.

“… 20 , 26 Aside from these muscular and ligamentous structures, the ulnar nerve encounters several vascular structures including the superior ulnar collateral and posterior ulnar recurrent arteries. 3 , 32 Along with these arterial structures, there have been scarce reports of ulnar nerve compression by anomalous venous structures. 1 , 5 This study describes 2 cases of a cubital tunnel venous anomaly that may be a site of ulnar nerve compression not yet reported in literature.…”

Subcutaneous anterior transposition of the ulnar nerve is a common surgical treatment for cubital tunnel syndrome. However, there are surgical failures associated with the new compressive sites at the edge of flexor carpi ulnaris (FCU) and resubluxation posterior to the medial epicondyle of the transposed nerve. To reduce the muscle volume at the edge of FCU, we approach the ulnar nerve by dividing the muscle belly of the FCU humeral heads. This procedure can reduce repeated traction forces on the transposed nerve at the edge of the FCU. To keep the transposed ulnar nerve anteriorly, we use a fat flap including the membranous superficial fascia. This flap can softly stabilize the ulnar nerve and act as a pliable cover to prevent perineural scarring or further constriction around the flap. Ninety-three elbows in 90 patients who had undergone this procedure for cubital tunnel syndrome were evaluated. According to Messina’s criteria, the numbers of patients showing excellent, good, fair, and poor recovery were 41 (44%), 47 (51%), 5 (5%), and 0 (0%), respectively. Most patients experience resolution of symptoms and good functional outcomes. None of the patients suffered recurrence, infection, or nerve injury.
