What is Cubital Tunnel Release?
Cubital tunnel release is a surgical procedure that decompresses a pinched ulnar nerve and relieves associated symptoms such as pain, weakness or numbness in the fingers. The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia and the steps used to perform the procedure are:
A small incision is made on the inside of the elbow
Tendons and muscles are carefully moved to expose the ulnar collateral ligament
A tiny blade is used to cut the ligament and decompress the nerve
