Discussion

Retrospective assessment shows safe use of WALANT for anterior ulnar nerve transposition, indicating significant patient satisfaction outcomes.

The WALANT technique resulted in high patient satisfaction, with 65% rating their experience as good according to the Dellon scale.
Postoperative complications were minimal, with only 3 patients (7.5%) rating their outcomes as bad, suggesting overall safety.
Assessment over a mean follow-up of 5.8 weeks revealed a negative correlation between age and satisfaction scores, indicating higher satisfaction in younger patients.
Patient selection is crucial for successful outcomes in WALANT-assisted ulnar nerve procedures, highlighting the need for further research.

Gök et al. (2025) studied this question.
