title: [Anatomical basis for a surgical treatment of cubital tunnel syndrome].
abstract: The paper presents anatomical basis for a surgical treatment of cubital tunnel syndrome. There are five major anatomical locations where the ulnar nerve may be compressed near the elbow. Transfer of the ulnar nerve decompresses all five locations simultaneously and thus theoretically may be more reliable.
