Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Thirteen hands in 11 patients with previous carpal tunnel releases were treated by microscopic internal neurolysis and palmaris brevis "turnover" flaps. All patients in the series had positive electrodiagnostic testing, dysesthetic wrist pain, and numbness in the median nerve distribution before operation. Average age was 41.9 years (range, 27 to 62 years). Ten were male and 3 were female. Range of follow-up after the procedure was from 1 to 1 1/2 years. All hands with abnormal preoperative two-point discriminations or Semmes-Weinstein measurements showed numerical improvement in their sensory parameters. Thenar strength and bulk improved at least one grade in all six cases of thenar atrophy. Mean grip strength was 15.2% greater than before operation. Key pinch increased 5.5% and pulp pinch 31.9%. Subjective assessment of improvement ranged from 25% to 100%. All patients returned to their former jobs or to vocational retaining except the oldest patient who is semiretired. |
