Hello,

Ulnar tunnel surgery is when there is irritation of ulnar nerve when it runs over the bone. It is called the anterior transposition. If you are still having tingling pain, and numbness, then there might be mild irritation still present, it is more when you move your elbow joint more. I would suggest you undergo the nerve tests recommended knowing the status of the nerve. We will have a better idea after the tests. It won't be anything alarming.



Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Santosh S Jeevannavar
