To correct cubital tunnel syndrome is called an ulnar nerve neurolysis with anterior transposition. This involves exposing the nerve and moving it to a place in the elbow where it is less compressed. This surgery typically lasts about 1 hour and is performed on an outpatient basis meaning you will be able to go home that day. You will have a small scar along the inner aspect of your elbow that fades over time. This procedure is commonly performed in combination with a carpal tunnel release.
