Medial Elbow Exposure: Modified Taylor-Scham Versus FCU-Split

Abstract

The Taylor-Scham approach with an ulnar nerve transposition provides a more extensile osseous exposure of the anteromedial coronoid and proximal ulna when compared to the FCU-Split. In addition, it minimizes risks to the ulnar nerve that are inherent to the FCU-Split such as direct retraction and potential injury or sacrifice of its motor branches. This approach can be considered for injuries that require increased exposure than typically provided by the FCU-Split. The Taylor-Scham approach provides a more extensile exposure of the anteromedial coronoid and proximal ulna than the FCU-Splitting approach while avoiding cross-tensioning of the ulnar nerve.
