ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the traditional anterior transposition and anterior subcutaneous with blood supply of the ulnar nerve for the treatment of cubital tunnel syndrome.Methods Eighty cases with cubital tunnel syndrome were enrolled in the retrospective study from January 2009 to March 2013,40 cases (control group) were treated by traditional anterior transposition while the others (observation group) were treated by anterior subcutaneous with blood supply.According to the evaluation criteria of ulnar nerve,evaluated the function of patients and compared the scores of two groups and the improved rate of different level patients.Results The scores of two groups before surgery were (3.6 ± 0.4),(3.7 ± 0.5) scores,after surgery were (7.5 ± 0.9),(7.4 ± 0.6) scores respectively,there was significant difference between two groups before and after surgery (P < 0.05),but there was no significant difference between two groups (P >0.05).The improved rate of observation group was 87.5% (35/40),which was higher than that of control group [85.0% (34/40)],but without statistical difference (P > 0.05).In two groups the patients with middle scores showed no statistical significance in improved rate [90.0% (27/30) vs.96.4% (27/28)] (P > 0.05).Two treatments showed a significant difference for the low scores patients 8/10 vs.7/12 (P <0.05).Conclusion Anterior subcutaneous with blood supply of the ulnar nerve is better than traditional anterior transposition for the gross cubital tunnel syndrome patients.
