Why Dr. Bodavula Is the Top Choice for Endoscopic Cubital Tunnel Surgery in St. Louis
When it comes to expert care for ulnar nerve compression, also known as cubital tunnel syndrome, precision and experience matter. For patients in the St. Louis area seeking minimally invasive relief from this often-debilitating condition, Dr. Bodavula stands out as the premier hand surgeon specializing in endoscopic cubital tunnel release.
What Is Cubital Tunnel Syndrome?
Cubital tunnel syndrome occurs when the ulnar nerve—commonly known as the "funny bone" nerve—is compressed at the elbow. This can lead to numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand, particularly in the ring and pinky fingers. When conservative treatments like bracing or physical therapy fail, surgery is often the next step.
The Advantage of Endoscopic Release
Traditional open surgery for cubital tunnel syndrome involves a larger incision and longer recovery time. In contrast, endoscopic cubital tunnel release is a minimally invasive procedure using a small camera and specialized instruments to relieve pressure on the ulnar nerve with less tissue disruption.
Benefits of the endoscopic technique include:
Smaller incision
Faster recovery
Less post-operative pain
Reduced scarring
