Introduction: In this study, we evaluated the functional results of patients with in situ ulnar nerve decompression with the diagnosis of cybital tunnel syndrome (KTS). Instruments and Methods: Between January 2006 and December 2010, 43 patients were monitored adequately and 32 patients responded to the call were recurring. The pre-operative clinical status of patients was determined by the McGowan rating system and the postoperative status was determined by the Wilson&Krout rating system. The study included patients who were diagnosed with cybital tunnel syndrome by examination and electromyelography (EMG), who did not respond to treatment conservately for at least 6 months, who were subjected to in situ decompression procedure, who had not previously been operated due to cybital tunnel syndrome. Results: 24 patients before surgery had stage 2, 8 patients had stage 3 neuropathy. After the surgery, the result was perfect in 22 patients, good in 7 patients, reasonable in 2 patients, bad in 1 patient. The only patient with a bad result was the pre-operative stage 3 neuropathy. As a result of the repeated complaints, no patient was re-operated. Debate Results: In situ decompression in Cybital Tunnel Syndrome is an effective, simple, reliable method with low rates of complications in unseen cases of ulnar nerve integrity preserved and ulnar nerve subluxation.
