Summary

The purpose of this study is to collect data on the clinical and functional outcomes of surgical management for recurrent carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) using flexor tenosynovectomy. It is hypothesized that the outcomes of patients undergoing flexor tenosynovectomy for recurrent CTS will compare favorably to published data regarding alternative types of surgeries for the same condition.

Detailed description

Primary carpal tunnel release (CTR) is the most common surgical procedure of the hand, but reported rates of symptom recurrence are not uncommon. Many surgical techniques have been proposed and reported for management of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) symptom recurrence, however there is a paucity of data on flexor tenosynovectomy for management of recurrent CTS. This study will evaluate clinical and functional outcomes using information from pre- and post-operative physical exams, surgery data, patient-reported satisfaction and symptoms, and scores on functional measures, such as the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) questionnaire.
