Clinically there is no best treatment for ulnar nerve entrapment, and general treatment, drug treatment and surgery are commonly used for treatment.
1. General treatment: patients should pay attention to rest, change the bad posture, avoid lifting heavy objects, and at the same time, hot compresses can be applied to the affected area.
2. Drug treatment: after ulnar nerve entrapment occurs, different degrees of ulnar nerve damage will occur, such as numbness and weakness of the ulnar side, etc. Under the guidance of doctors, vitamin B1, vitamin B12 and other nutritive nerve drugs can be taken to improve the clinical symptoms.
3. Surgical treatment: If the above methods are not effective, surgical treatment such as ulnar nerve endolysis can be performed. If the patient is combined with obvious elbow exostosis, elbow endostosis osteotomy can be used. If the patient’s ulnar nerve injury symptoms have persisted for several years and the nerve function can no longer be restored, tendon transfer can be chosen to reconstruct ulnar nerve function.
When patients have ulnar nerve entrapment, they should go to the hospital in time and choose the appropriate treatment under the guidance of the doctor to avoid delaying the condition and causing adverse consequences.
