		<description><![CDATA[There are four main types of cubital tunnel surgery:

Simple decompression &#8211; One of the cubital tunnel ligaments is cut to reduce pressure on the nerve, which remains in the tunnel. 
Subcutaneous Transposition &#8211; The ulnar nerve is moved out of the cubital tunnel to the topside of the elbow. 
Submuscular Transposition &#8211; The ulnar nerve [...]

1. Transposition is better than decompression&#160; Odds of improvement with simple decompression versus anterior transposition were 0.751.&#160; This indicates a trend toward an improved clinical outcome with transposition of the ulnar nerve as opposed to simple decompression.&#160; In other words, transposition surgery [...]
