STETS demonstrated a non-inferior trend compared with SETS in several functional outcomes, but without statistically significant differences. Its definitive efficacy requires further validation through large-sample, prospective controlled studies.Clinical Relevance Statement: This study directly compares the STETS and SETS nerve transfer techniques and provides evidence that STETS demonstrated a non-inferior trend compared with SETS in several functional outcomes. These findings support the use of STETS as an effective surgical option for improving motor outcomes in patients with severe cubital tunnel syndrome.CLINICAL QUESTION/LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Therapeutic, IV.
