Open release for carpal tunnel syndrome

Abstract

This is the protocol for a review and there is no abstract. The objectives are as follows: To assess the effectiveness and safety of conventional open techniques for carpal tunnel release compared to any other surgical intervention for the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome. More specifically, to evaluate the relative impact of the open techniques in relieving symptoms, producing functional recovery (return to work and return to daily activities) and reducing complication rates compared to other surgical treatments.
