Ulnar Nerve Transposition

Ulnar Nerve Transposition is available through Mark Cuban Companies Health Plan at a published cash price, paid when you book.

Ulnar nerve transposition is a surgical procedure performed to relieve pressure or irritation on the ulnar nerve as it passes through the elbow. The ulnar nerve is one of the major nerves in the arm, responsible for providing sensation to the little finger and part of the ring finger, as well as controlling certain muscles in the hand. When the ulnar nerve becomes compressed or entrapped at the elbow, it can result in symptoms such as pain, numbness, tingling, weakness, or difficulty moving the hand and fingers. Ulnar nerve transposition involves moving the ulnar nerve from its original position at the back of the elbow to a new location in front of the elbow, away from the structures that are causing compression. This helps to relieve pressure on the nerve and alleviate symptoms. During the procedure, the surgeon makes an incision at the elbow, releases the structures that are compressing the nerve, and repositions the nerve to a more protected location. Recovery from ulnar nerve transposition typically involves a period of immobilization and rehabilitation to allow the nerve to heal and regain function.
