AB - <p>This paper advocates the principle of ulnar nerve decompression by medial epicondylectomy of the humerus in leprosy patients presenting with ulnar nerve neuritis and early muscle weakness of ulnar nerve supplied muscles. 16 medial epicondylectomies were done on 14 patients and a follow up showed relief of nerve tenderness and an improvement in the motor power status of the muscles as shown by total grading.</p>
