Anterior, subcutaneous ulnar nerve transposition decompresses the ulnar nerve and, by transposing anterior to the medial epicondyle, eliminates longitudinal traction forces applied to the nerve during elbow flexion. This article reviews the indications and contraindications of the technique and describes the surgical technique in detail.
