Figure 4 Anterior subcutaneous transposition of the ulnar nerve in flexion.
A band of medial intermuscular septum is used as a sling to hold the nerve in place. One end of the band is excised beginning 8 cm proximal to the medial epicondyle, and the other end is left attached to the medial epicondyle. The strip is sutured onto the fascia overlying the flexor-pronator musculature.
