Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Ulnar nerve compression is common at the elbow, but less common at the wrist. The purposes of this study are to report a series of 9 patients with pure ulnar nerve deep branch compression by a ganglion and to evaluate the outcome following a surgical treatment. According modified Bishop's scoring system, the investigators would evaluate postoperative results of this uncommon nerve lesion.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Pre- and post-operative physical examination include assessment of tenderness and strength (grip and pinch). Grip strength and tip pinch strength between the thumb and index finger are measured using the E-LINK system. According Bishop's scoring system, the investigators redesign a questionnaire for comprehensive assessment of this uncommon nerve lesion.
