Endoscopic Cubital Tunnel Release in patients from the Bahamas

Release of the painful ulnar nerve at the elbow is a common operation that is virtually always done via a large open incision. At Badia Hand to Shoulder Center, we have been doing the technique endoscopically, via a mini portal incision using an endoscope to release the ulnar nerve, often called the “funny bone”. This alleviates the numbness and pain, and allows the patient to use the arm immediately as this is done in Miami (Doral) as an outpatient procedure with local anesthesia. Virtually no therapy is required and the complications such as scarring, neuromas, and continued pain are almost never seen with the endoscopic approach.
