Outcome analysis of limited open carpal tunnel release: A prospective study
Background: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common peripheral compressive neuropathy, involving median nerve at the wrist. Traditionally, three different surgical techniques have been described open or standard, minimal invasive or limited open,

Patient-Reported Disability Measures Do Not Correlate with Electrodiagnostic Severity in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Electrophysiologic studies including electromyography and nerve conduction studies play a role in the evaluation of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), despite evidence that these studies do not correlate with CTS-specific symptom scores.
