| description | ObjectivesWe evaluated the effects of carpal tunnel release with a mini-open incision by analyzing symptom improvement. MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed 64 carpal tunnel syndrome patients who underwent carpal tunnel release with mini-open incisions between January 2001 and December 2010. The 22 males and 42 females had a mean age of 49 years and a mean follow-up of 12 months. We analyzed postoperative symptoms using The Michigan Hand Outcome Questionnaire. ResultsPatients reported complete resolution of their symptoms, and some patients who had presented with residual symptoms improved gradually. No complications or scar hypersensitivity were observed. MHQ(Michigan Hand outcomes Questionnaire) scores improved significantly between preoperative and postoperative 6 months and 12 months. ConclusionsCarpal tunnel release with mini-open incision provides a clinically effective, reliable and safe procedure. |
