Ulnar Nerve Decompression

Ulnar nerve decompression is a surgical procedure aimed at relieving pressure on the ulnar nerve, which runs along the inner side of the elbow (often referred to as the "funny bone"). When this nerve is compressed, it can cause pain, numbness, or tingling in the hand and fingers, especially the ring and pinky fingers. During the surgery, the surgeon removes any tissue or bone that is pressing on the nerve, allowing it to function properly again. This procedure can help restore normal sensation and strength in the hand, improving the quality of life for affected individuals.
