A retrospective study was performed on 62 patients who had undergone carpal tunnel decompression surgery. Each patient was assessed in clinic, their case notes were reviewed and their electrophysiological results were analysed and graded according to severity. The median preoperative duration of symptoms was 2 years. No relationship was found between the nature or duration of pre-operative symptoms and the severity of the electrophysiological impairment. Furthermore, no relationship could be identified between pre-operative nerve conduction impairment and either successful outcome of surgery (defined as complete symptom relief) or time to resolution of symptoms after surgery.
对62例行腕管减压手术的患者进行了一项回顾性研究。对每位患者进行了临床评估,查阅了他们的病历,并根据严重程度对其电生理结果进行了分析和分级。术前症状的中位持续时间为2年。术前症状的性质或持续时间与电生理损伤的严重程度之间未发现相关性。此外,术前神经传导损伤与手术成功结果(定义为症状完全缓解)或术后症状缓解时间之间均未发现相关性。
