Abstract
✓ The authors report 16 consecutive cases of ulnar nerve palsy at the elbow successfully relieved by simple division of the tendinous insertions of the flexor carpi ulnaris, which form the roof of the “cubital tunnel.” They believe the more complex procedures of anterior transposition of the nerve or resection of the medial epicondyle are unnecessary, and even undesirable.
