Peter Tang, MD, MPHCorresponding Author Informationemail address, Kate W. Nellans, MD, MPH

Cubital tunnel syndrome is the second most common nerve compression in the upper extremity after carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). There are multiple surgical options to treat cubital tunnel syndrome with no one treatment proving superior. The options include in situ decompression with or without medial epicondylectomy, endoscopic decompression, and subcutaneous, intramuscular, or submuscular transposition. The surgical techniques as well as specific pearls and pitfalls, relevant anatomy, diagnosis, and conservative treatment will be reviewed.
