The failed ulnar nerve transposition group showed a mean cross-sectional area ± SD of 17.26 ± 9.93 mm(2), whereas the control group showed a mean cross-sectional area of 13.45 ± 7.33 mm(2). This difference was statistically significant (P= .018). Nontransposed nerves were more likely to have identifiable sites of compression (P<.05). There was a trend toward postoperative enlargement in the 6 patients with available preoperative imaging (P = .17)
