If you’re dealing with numbness and tingling in your arm or hand, cubital tunnel release can help. This procedure eases pressure on the ulnar nerve, reducing discomfort and helping you regain strength and sensation in your hand.
Cubital tunnel syndrome is a nerve-related condition that can cause pain throughout the arm, hand, and fingers. While it is uncomfortable, it can be successfully treated with cubital tunnel release.
Cubital tunnel syndrome affects the ulnar nerve, which runs through the cubital tunnel and is often called the “funny bone nerve.” The tunnel is a tube of bone, muscle, and ligament located in the elbow. When it is damaged or the ulnar nerve is compressed, it causes swelling and discomfort in the elbow, forearm, hand, and fingers.
A variety of factors can lead to the development of cubital tunnel syndrome, such as:
It is characterized by pain along the ulnar nerve. Other symptoms include:
The release is a surgical procedure that provides long-lasting relief from the symptoms. We offer this procedure here at Julian Plastic Surgery in Tampa.
Your doctor will complete ulnar nerve decompression and, if needed, a transposition of the ulnar nerve. This is usually completed with a minimally invasive endoscopic approach. Using a small incision and a camera we are able to visualize the nerve and release the tissue causing the compression, taking strain off of the nerve.
If a nerve transposition is needed, your doctor will expand the incision to move and stabilize the nerve at the front of the bone inside the elbow.
Your doctor will close the incision with sutures, then dress the elbow for protection. You’ll be advised to avoid pushing, pulling, or lifting motions with the affected arm for a month after treatment. About two to three months after treatment, you’ll likely be able to use your arm and elbow normally. Contact us today to speak with a member of our team and schedule an appointment today.
