Treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome. Comparative study with and without epineurolysis

Abstract

Three series of cases of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome have been studied. One series was treated a different, respected surgical team, the second series by the author by decompression alone, and the third series by additional intraneural decompression using the microscope. The authors found very little difference in the results, apart from marginally better results in the presence of thenar muscle involvement.
