Cubital tunnel syndrome is the second most common entrapment neuropathy of the upper limb. Surgical decompression is indicated in patients with persistent symptoms despite conservative management. The objective of this study was to assess outcome of ulnar nerve decompression in Tayside region. A total of 79 extremities in 63 patients were reviewed, The most common cause of cubital tunnel syndrome was idiopathic (58.2%), simple decompression was performed in 81% of patients and anterior subcutaneous transposition in 19% of extremities.
