McGowan's 1950 case series of 46 patients with traumatic ulnar neuritis describes outcomes after ulnar nerve transposition, stratified by a novel three-grade classification of lesion severity based on motor involvement at the time of surgery. Follow-up ranged from one to five years.
This classification helps you counsel patients on expected outcomes after ulnar nerve transposition.
Patients with Grade I or II lesions can expect near-complete recovery, while those with Grade III lesions should understand that motor recovery will likely be incomplete despite reliable symptom relief.
