Аннотация
Records were analysed from the institutional database, including 943 patients (1089 hands) with CTS who were operated on in the authors' department over a period of four years (2012 to 2015). The diagnosis of CTS was made solely on the basis of clinical findings in 551 patients (58 %); 392 patients (42 %) also had electrodiagnostic tests performed, for various reasons. Patients were followed-up at 1 and 6 months with assessments that included the Levine scores, filament tests, grip and pinch strength. No significant differences in Levine scores were found at the 1 and 6 month assessments. Statistically significant differences were noted in 3-point pinch strength and sensation: however, these were not clinically meaningful. The results of the study show that the results of carpal tunnel release in patients with typical symptoms are no better after electrodiagnostic tests.
