Abstract

Purpose

In this prospective, randomized, controlled study, we hypothesized that there would be no difference in short-term functional, subjective, and blinded wound outcome measures between patients treated after mini-open carpal tunnel release (CTR) with a postoperative bulky dressing for 2   weeks and those with dressing removal and placement of an adhesive strip after 48 to 72 hours.
