Abstract
A new technique using the released medial intramuscular septum as a fa scial or fasciodermal sling to prevent posterior subluxation of the ul nar nerve following subcutaneous transposition is described. The techn ique is simple and prevents subluxation, yet it still allows free excu rsion of the ulnar nerve and postoperative rehabilitation is begun imm ediately.
