Abstract
Subcutaneous anterior ulnar nerve transposition has been advocated by many surgeons as simple and effective. Techniques to maintain the nerve anterior to the medial epicondyle include subcutaneous pocket, subcutaneous-fascia tunnel, and fascial and fasciodermal sling. We describe a modified technique that uses the medial intermuscular septum as a sling to allow a more gentle transition of the ulnar nerve as it enters into the flexor carpi ulnaris muscle belly.
