Özet

BACKGROUND: Ulnar nerve entrapment neuropathy at the elbow is the most common upper-extremity entrapment neuropathy after carpal tunnel syndrome. Surgical treatment can be complicated by perineural scarring and fibrosis, which may lead to recurrent symptoms. Expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) is a synthetic polymer with antiadhesive properties.
