Zusammenfassung
Two hundred and seventy-three patients with carpal tunnel syndrome without advanced neurophysiological changes (distal motor latency below 11 ms) were randomized to treatment by open carpal tunnel release with, or without, epineurotomy. Patients were examined clinically and by nerve conduction studies preoperatively and at 3, 6 and 12 months postoperatively. We found no statistically significant ...
Zusammenfassung
Two hundred and seventy-three patients with carpal tunnel syndrome without advanced neurophysiological changes (distal motor latency below 11 ms) were randomized to treatment by open carpal tunnel release with, or without, epineurotomy. Patients were examined clinically and by nerve conduction studies preoperatively and at 3, 6 and 12 months postoperatively. We found no statistically significant difference between simple decompression and decompression combined with epineurotomy with regard to either the clinical or the neurophysiological outcome.
