Abstract

Background

Carpal tunnel syndrome is one of the most common compression neuropathies in the upper limbs and requires surgery if conservative treatment fails. This article compares the result of regular open incision, mid-palmar mini incision and endoscopic technique in carpal tunnel release.

Methods

This is a clinical trial study on 105 patients (10 males, 95 females) within one year, who were surgical candidates. The surgery was done with regular open incision or with mid-palmar small incision. The clinical outcomes were evaluated one week, 4 weeks and 4 months post-surgery.
