YOUR JOURNEY

Consultation

If numbness and tingling in the ring and small fingers will not quit—or your elbow feels electric when you lean on a desk—this consultation maps whether ulnar nerve compression is the story. Our team reviews symptoms, exam findings, and what daily tasks are hardest, then explains what transposition can improve in plain language. Dr. Potter discusses incision location concepts, therapy expectations, and recovery milestones tied to work and hobbies.

The procedure

Ulnar nerve transposition moves the nerve to a protected bed when compression at the cubital tunnel is severe or recurrent—supporting a smoother glide arc with careful handling of surrounding tissues. Dr. Potter prioritizes nerve respect, stable positioning, and closure that supports early protected motion protocols when appropriate—because sensation and fine dexterity are the outcomes that matter.

Recovery

Recovery includes splinting, nerve recovery timelines that can be gradual, and therapy partners when they strengthen outcomes. You will know what aching is typical, when to advance activity, and what progressive numbness or wound concerns should prompt a call. Our team stays available while grip and coordination return in measured steps.

Restorative Precision

Dr. Potter approaches ulnar nerve surgery with nerve-specialty discipline: clear diagnosis thinking, careful transposition technique, and protection of adjacent structures—because elbow surgery should feel like a plan, not a guess.

Clinical Indicators

This pathway is for patients with cubital tunnel syndrome severe enough to consider surgical decompression and transposition—especially when symptoms interfere with sleep, work, or fine hand use.

Comprehensive Recovery & Refinement

Once healing allows, many patients appreciate gentle skin support on the arm—Morpheus8 or Laser PhotoFacial when timing is appropriate for sun-exposed cleared areas, Signature Facial for overall skin comfort, and medical-grade moisturizers from our Product Hub for scar-friendly home care when cleared.
