Twenty of 59 hands (34%) of @entity1 with @entity923 had @entity854 in sensibility testing of both median and ulnar nerves by either two-point discrimination, Semmes-Weinstein monofilament testing, or both. Before surgery, 53% of @entity1 complained of @entity809 and/or numbness in ulnar nerve distribution. Eighty percent of the hands had abnormal Semmes-Weinstein monofilament testing of the ulnar nerve. Thirty-five percent had abnormal two-point discrimination. Forty-one percent had abnormal electromyographic testing of the ulnar nerve. All hands had median nerve decompression alone. Guyon's canal was not released. After surgery, 89% of @entity1 had improvement in @entity809 and/or numbness of the ulnar nerve. Ninety-four percent had improvement in Semmes-Weinstein monofilament testing. Eighty-six percent had improvement in two-point discrimination. @entity1 with a residual abnormality in ulnar nerve sensibility also had continued abnormality in median nerve sensibility. A significant percentage of @entity1 with @entity923 also have signs and symptoms of @entity8898 . Most improved with carpal tunnel release alone.
