[Should we reconstruct the flexor retinaculum in the carpal tunnel?]

Abstract

Conflicting data in the literature justify this review about the flexor retinaculum (FR). Reconstruction of the FR following carpal tunnel open release has been recommended in order to limit the drawbacks of open carpal tunnel release; these drawbacks have been reported in wide series of results published between 1956 and 1988. This paper includes a review of the literature, a survey of the practice of the members of the French society for surgery of the hand (GEM), a self-evaluation of grip strength as well as a summary of indications.
