We used an ultrasound (US)\u2010guided near\u2010nerve monopolar needle stimulation of the AIN to determine the specific contribution of the transferred PQ motor branch to the ulnar\u2010innervated hand intrinsic muscles following AIN ETS in patients with UNE.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>After inserting the monopolar needle under US guidance, direct stimulation of the AIN was performed while recording from the abductor digiti minimi (ADM), first dorsal interosseous (FDI), and flexor pollicis longus (FPL). The presence or absence of a compound muscle action potential (CMAP) was noted from each muscle.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The technique was used in two patients with chronic UNE, one with a cubital tunnel decompression and AIN ETS and the other with a decompression alone. In the patient with decompression and AIN ETS, direct stimulation of the AIN revealed a low amplitude CMAP recorded from the FDI and FPL, suggesting AIN axonal contribution to FDI in the setting of prior AIN ETS. In the patient with decompression alone, near\u2010nerve stimulation generated an expected CMAP in the FPL but no response in the hand intrinsics.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study may demonstrate the utility of US\u2010guided near\u2010nerve monopolar needle AIN stimulation and suggests that it is a reliable technique to isolate the AIN contribution to hand intrinsic reinnervation following AIN ETS.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/mus.70194","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,8]],"date-time":"2026-03-08T12:27:13Z","timestamp":1772972833000},"page":"892-897","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Ultrasound\u2010Guided Near\u2010Nerve Needle Assessment of the End\u2010to\u2010Side Anterior Interosseous to Ulnar Motor Nerve Transfer Contribution to Hand Intrinsic Reinnervation in Compressive Ulnar Neuropathy"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"73","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2725-1825","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"James B.","family":"Meiling","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Mayo Clinic  Rochester Minnesota USA"},{"name":"Department of Neurology Mayo Clinic  Rochester Minnesota USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kitty Y.","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Plastic Surgery Mayo Clinic  Rochester Minnesota USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1884-5824","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ruple S.","family":"Laughlin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology Mayo Clinic  Rochester Minnesota USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Devon I.","family":"Rubin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology Mayo Clinic  Jacksonville Florida USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"William J.","family":"Litchy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology Mayo Clinic  Rochester Minnesota USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.neucli.2006.08.013"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/mus.20093"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/26350254231186438"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.hcl.2007.05.004"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jhsa.2012.07.022"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jhsa.2009.10.033"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/prs.0000000000001514"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3233\/RNN-2007-00366"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_10_1","volume-title":"Electromyography and Neuromuscular Disorders: Clinical\u2010Electrophysiologic\u2010Ultrasound Correlations","author":"Preston D.
