RÉSUME : Le syndrome ulnaire au coude se défini par la compression du nerf ulnaire au coude liée à un traumatisme comme une fracture, un hématome ou une mauvaise posture. Les premiers symptômes sont le plus souvent manifestations sensitives qui peuvent évoluer à déficit moteur de la main et du poignet, les explorations neurophysiologiques aident au diagnostic, la prise en charge est plus souvent chirurgicale, nous rapportant une série de trois cas opérés dans notre formation par une neurolyse ulnaire associée à une transposition antérieure sous cutanée du nerf, qui a donnée des bons résultats cliniques après un recul de trois mois , cette transposition du nerf en avant de l’épicondyle médial selon plusieurs auteurs semble être le traitement de choix pour éviter des complications à l’origine de souffrances chroniques. Mots clés : Syndrome du ulnaire au coude, transposition antérieure sous-cutanée, neurolyse. ABSTRACT : Ulnar-elbow syndrome is defined as compression of the ulnar nerve at the elbow due to trauma such as fracture, hematoma, or poor posture. The first symptoms are most often sensory manifestations that can evolve to motor deficit of the hand and wrist, neurophysiological explorations help in the diagnosis, the care is more often surgical, reporting us a series of three cases operated in our formation by ulnar neurolysis associated with anterior subcutaneous transposition of the nerve, which has given good clinical results after a retreat of three months, this transposition of the nerve in front of the medial epicondyle by several authors seems to be the treatment of choice to avoid complications causing chronic suffering. Key words: Elbow ulnar syndrome, anterior subcutaneous transposition, neurolysis
