It depends on the cause of the ulnar neuropathy. Anconeus epitrochlearis, a accessory muscle slip which can cause this syndrome would be addressed surgically, as would a nerve sheath tumor. Many other causes would not require surgery.

It IS outpatient, but definitely NOT local. Just had this done two weeks ago.
