Prediction of the Outcome 24 Hours after Carpal Tunnel Decompression

From the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Royal Hallamshire Hospital, Sheffield

A prospective study has been performed on 47 wrists treated by surgical decompression for carpal tunnel syndrome. In all cases where there was symptomatic relief within the first 24 hours postoperatively, a good or excellent outcome was obtained when the patients were reviewed six weeks after surgery. If subjective improvement was not obtained by 24 hours, a good outcome was still possible but a poor outcome became more likely.
