Methods Five consecutive patients with leprosy-associated cubital tunnel syndrome underwent surgery with the modified technique between July 2011 and October 2012. Results The most common symptoms were neuropathic pain and sensory changes (both 60%). On the McGowan scale, three patients maintained their preoperative score and two patients improved by two points, while on the Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center scale, two patients maintained the same scores, two improved by two points, and one improved by one point. Four patients were able to discontinue corticosteroid use. The mean follow-up time was 25.6 months (range 2-48 months). There were no recurrences or subluxations in the long-term. Conclusion This alternative technique resulted in excellent functional results, as well as successful withdrawal from corticosteroids. Furthermore, it resulted in no ulnar nerve subluxations.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/0004-282x20170023","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,4,27]],"date-time":"2017-04-27T15:24:17Z","timestamp":1493306657000},"page":"238-243","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Modified simple decompression in the treatment of cubital tunnel syndrome: avoiding ulnar nerve subluxation"],"prefix":"10.1590","volume":"75","author":[{"given":"Marcus Andr\u00e9","family":"Acioly","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Estadual do Rio de Janeiro, Brasil; Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Amanda Mendes","family":"Soares","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mariana Lopes de","family":"Almeida","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Renata","family":"Barbosa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Estadual do Rio de Janeiro, Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Egon","family":"Daxbacher","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Estadual do Rio de Janeiro, Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Carlos Henrique","family":"Carvalho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Schwarzwald Baar Klinikum, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"530","reference":[{"issue":"2","key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"90","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0031-1271800","article-title":"Cubital tunnel syndrome - a review and management guidelines","volume":"72","author":"Assmus H","year":"2011","journal-title":"Cent Eur Neurosurg"},{"issue":"2","key":"ref2","first-page":"391","article-title":"History of the surgical treatment of ulnar nerve compression at the elbow","volume":"49","author":"Bartels RH","year":"2001","journal-title":"Neurosurgery"},{"issue":"4","key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"281","DOI":"10.1016\/S0753-9053(05)80027-4","article-title":"Relative frequency of nerve conduction abnormalities at carpal tunnel and cubital tunnel in France and the United States: importance of silent neuropathies and role of ulnar neuropathy after unsuccessful carpal tunnel syndrome release","volume":"12","author":"Seror P","year":"1993","journal-title":"Ann Chir Main Memb Super"},{"issue":"12","key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2591","DOI":"10.2106\/JBJS.G.00183","article-title":"Anterior transposition compared with simple decompression for treatment of cubital tunnel syndrome.
