Cubital Tunnel Surgery Prices London · Harley Street
Your quote for ulnar nerve surgery at the elbow is built around your nerve studies, whether the nerve is stable or slipping, and the recovery your hand needs.
How much does cubital tunnel surgery cost in London?
There is no one price for cubital tunnel surgery in London because the operation is chosen for your elbow. A simple in situ decompression, an anterior transposition of the ulnar nerve and a medial epicondylectomy differ in complexity, anaesthetic and aftercare. Nerve studies, previous elbow injury and the need for hand therapy also count. After assessing you at 64 Harley Street, Ms Anna De Leo provides a written quote.

What a Cubital Tunnel Surgery quote includes
Your written quote from Harley Street is itemised, so you can see exactly what is covered.
- Surgeon's feeMs De Leo's fee for releasing the ulnar nerve along its course at the elbow, including protecting the small skin nerves that cross the inner elbow.
- Anaesthetic careLocal anaesthetic, a regional arm block or a general anaesthetic, with an anaesthetist's fee included when the chosen technique requires one.
- Day-case theatre and recoveryOperating theatre time, sterile equipment and nursing in the recovery area, so you return home on the same day as your ulnar nerve surgery.
- Dressings and arm supportA soft dressing after decompression or, after transposition, a protective dressing or sling for the short period Ms De Leo advises.
- Post-operative reviewsA wound check and later appointments to follow sensation in the ring and little fingers and the strength of the small hand muscles over the following months.
- Hand therapy planGuidance on elbow positioning and nerve-gliding exercises; formal hand therapy sessions are listed separately if Ms De Leo considers them helpful in your case.
What affects Cubital Tunnel Surgery prices in London
These are the factors Ms De Leo considers when preparing your personalised quote.
Nerve conduction studies and electromyography
Ulnar nerve compression can be confused with problems in the neck, the wrist (Guyon's canal) or the nerves of the arm. Nerve conduction studies, sometimes with electromyography, show where the nerve is trapped and how much the muscles are affected. An elbow X-ray may be added after old fractures or arthritis. Whether these tests are already available, or need arranging, influences your quote.
Decompression or transposition
When the nerve sits stably in its groove, an in situ decompression releases the tight bands without moving it. If the nerve flicks over the bony prominence as you bend your elbow, or after previous injury, it may need to be moved to the front of the elbow. Transposition is a longer, more involved procedure with a slightly different recovery, and your quote reflects which technique is planned.
Choice of anaesthetic
A simple decompression can often be performed under local anaesthetic, while transposition or a longer operation is usually done under a regional block or a general anaesthetic. Your own preference, general health and the expected length of surgery all guide this decision. Because some routes require an anaesthetist and more recovery time, the anaesthetic is an important part of the cost.
Severity of nerve damage
Intermittent tingling in the little finger is very different from constant numbness with wasting and clawing of the hand. In advanced cases, recovery is slower, follow-up continues for longer and, occasionally, later procedures are discussed to improve pinch or finger balance. The degree of nerve damage found at examination therefore shapes both the treatment plan and the written quote.
Previous elbow surgery or fracture
Elbows that have been fractured, fixed with metalwork or operated on before carry scar tissue around the ulnar nerve. Revision decompression or transposition in this setting requires careful dissection and sometimes imaging beforehand. Such cases receive an individual assessment and a quote specific to the additional complexity involved.
Rehabilitation needs
Some patients recover with home exercises and advice on avoiding prolonged elbow bending at night. Others, particularly those with weakness of grip or pinch, benefit from a course of hand therapy, splinting or an elbow pad. The rehabilitation you are likely to need depends on your work and nerve findings and is considered when the quote is prepared.
Beyond the price: choosing well
The ulnar nerve recovers slowly, and it does not tolerate rough handling. An incomplete release, an unstable nerve left in place or an injured skin nerve can leave you with ongoing symptoms or a painful scar around the elbow. Choosing the right technique for your particular nerve, and performing it under magnification, is what protects grip and sensation over the long term. Ms Anna De Leo's training in reconstructive microsurgery, and her European Diploma in Hand Surgery, are directly relevant here. ADLSynergy can add recovery support such as scar therapy and massage for the inner elbow scar, helping you return comfortably to desk work and sport.
