Neuropatías del Nervio Cubital a Nivel del codo: Factores pronósticos

The authors have studied the forecast factor called on as influentialat the surgical results of neuropathies of ulnar nerve in theelbow joint.Since 1970, the authors have operated on 37 patients affected byulnar neuropathies, classified according to APFELBERG andLARSON. 14 cases had a tardy ulnar nerve palsy, 9 cases of cubitaltunnel syndrome. The surgical technique more frequent used wasepineurotomy and anterior subcutaneous transposition of ulnarnerve (17 cases).They have employed the method of ADELAAR et al. to evaluatethe results and they conclude that the factors of bad prognosis areintense amyotrophy, absence of fibrilation potentials and absenceof evoked sensitive potentials.The results of t h i s group were satisfactory, of the average valuepreoperatory of moderate lession was 4 points, after surgery thiswas 6,5 points at last.
