This retrospective study assessed the treatment of 91 cases of carpal tunnel syndrome in long-term haemodialysis patients. One group of patients underwent an enlargement reconstruction of the flexor retinaculum with synovectomy and the other group was treated with a conventional carpal tunnel release. There were no major changes or differences between the outcomes of the two groups. However, there was an earlier functional recovery of grip strength and a lower recurrence rate in the enlargement plasty with synovectomy group.
