I assume you meant cubital tunnel release?

my wife is a hand surgeon. she does these all the time. her take on it is simple: she has only had one complaint. and that was a from a drug seeker.

I had this surgery a couple years ago. I believe that I couldn't move the elbow for 6 weeks and then after that you have to rehab it for a month or two.

Totally ruined my summer.

Oh yeah, after it heals and you regain motion/flexibility. I got back to full strength but it took a while because you cant train for 3 or 4 months.
