What Factors Are Associated With Revision Cubital Tunnel Release Within 3 Years?

ABSTRACT:

Background

It has been shown that patient demographics such as age, payer factors such as insurance type, clinical characteristics such as preoperative opioid use, and disease grade but not surgical procedure are associated with revision surgery to treat cubital tunnel syndrome. However, prior studies evaluating factors associated with revision surgery after primary cubital tunnel release have been relatively small and have involved patients from a single institution or included only a single payer.

Questions/purposes

(1) What percentage of patients who underwent cubital tunnel release underwent revision within 3 years? (2) What factors are associated with revision cubital tunnel release within 3 years of primary cubital tunnel release?

Methods

We identified all adult
