Abstract

Objective

To determine which variables derived from the electrodiagnostic examination were predictive of patient self-reported symptoms and disability at 18   months after anterior ulnar nerve transposition.

Design

Retrospective cohort study.

Setting

Electrodiagnostic laboratories affiliated with a tertiary care center.

Participants

Patients (N = 73) with cubital tunnel syndrome (CuTS).

Interventions

Patients were randomly assigned to one of the anterior transpositions of the ulnar nerve (subcutaneous or submuscular).
