The Utility of Ulnar Nerve Cross-Sectional Area in Predicting Patient Outcomes in the Early Postoperative Period
A preoperative ulnar nerve CSA > 16 mm<sup>2</sup> was predictive of significantly less improvement in PF at 12 weeks post-operation compared to the progress experienced by patients with smaller ulnar nerve CSA. These findings may aid in preoperative counseling regarding expectations for improvement in hand function during the early postoperative period.
