The cubital tunnel is located on the inner side of the elbow joint, and the ulnar nerve passes through it. The most common symptoms are numbness in the little finger and ring finger. If this nerve is compressed for a prolonged period, the muscles of the hand atrophy, and precise finger movements are no longer possible.
The procedure can be performed endoscopically or conventionally. During the procedure, an incision is made on the inner surface of the elbow joint, and under direct visual control or endoscopically, the ligament is released and the nerve is freed to reduce pressure in the cubital tunnel.
