title: Complete anaesthesia in the cutaneous distribution of the ulnar nerve following submuscular anterior transposition - a case report.
abstract: Complete anaesthesia in the cutaneous distribution of the ulnar nerve following submuscular anterior transposition of the ulnar nerve has not been previously reported. We postulate vascular insult as the etiology of this condition and suggest there may be clinical importance to preserving the ulnar nerve blood supply during submuscular anterior transposition.
