Early neurorrhaphy of acute nerve injuries provides the best outcome, but consideration should also be given to per-forming distal motor nerve transfers to preserve hand intrinsic motor function when injuries occur at or above the proximal forearm. This article attempts to summarize the most recent trends within ulnar nerve repair.

2014年3月27日 · Understanding of the topographical anatomy of the ulnar nerve is essential for adequate repair of injuries at the level of the wrist and for performing nerve transfers.

2025年1月24日 · Cubital tunnel syndrome surgery Surgery becomes necessary when ulnar nerve entrapment symptoms - like persistent numbness, tingling, or hand weakness - don’t improve with non-surgical treatments or if the nerve damage worsens. At this point, surgery is often the best option to relieve pressure on the ulnar nerve and prevent further complications.

2007年8月1日 · Repair of nerve lacerations proximal to the forearm, more than 12 in from the hypothenar and intrinsic muscles of the hand, typically results in incomplete or absent return of motor function.

Based on these studies, our recommendations are to repair ulnar nerve lacerations as quickly as possible, to repair the ulnar artery regardless of the apparent vascular supply to the hand, to transpose the nerve for proximal lesions and release the carpal and ulnar tunnels for distal lesions, and to splint the involved joints to minimize the ...

Micro-Surgical repair of the ulnar nerve with a group fascicular repair technique. Ulnar nerve laceration with a true loss of nerve tissue repaired with a micro-surgical nerve grafting procedure using a sural nerve graft (see insert).

Injuries to the ulnar nerve result in both sensory and motor deficits within the hand. Functional outcomes following repair of this nerve have not performed as well as outcomes following repair of the median or radial nerves. Advances in imaging modalities may provide earlier means of identifying and diagnosing closed nerve injuries.
