About
We are looking at whether there is a difference in pain and function in the very early period when comparing carpal tunnel release performed by the endoscopic technique versus the open technique.
Full description
The purpose of our study is to examine the very early (<2 weeks post-op) outcomes of endoscopic versus open carpal tunnel releases (CTR). We will call patients on post-operative days 3, 7 and 14 and collect Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (SANE), Patient Related Wrist and Hand Evaluation (PRWHE), Visual Analog Scale (VAS) pain and return to work status at each time frame to see if there is any difference between the two procedures.
