A retrospective review of hospital employees at a single employer institution who underwent ultrasound guided thread carpal tunnel release (TCTR) or open carpal tunnel release (OCTR) between January 2018 and August 2020 was performed to ascertain differences in return-to-work status. Patient age, sex, occupation, handedness, severity of carpal tunnel syndrome, prior treatments and surgical outcomes were reviewed. A total of 18 patients underwent TCTR and 17 patients underwent OCTR. The TCTR group averaged 12 days to return to work without restrictions, as opposed to 33 days for the OCTR group. Resolution of symptoms was afforded in all patients without any complications regardless of surgical technique. While both TCTR and OCTR were effective, our data indicates that TCTR resulted in a shorter return to work. III.
对一家雇主机构的医院员工进行了一项回顾性研究,这些员工在2018年1月至2020年8月期间接受了超声引导下的线锯腕管松解术(TCTR)或开放性腕管松解术(OCTR),以确定复工状态的差异。回顾了患者的年龄、性别、职业、利手、腕管综合征的严重程度、既往治疗情况和手术结果。共有18例患者接受了TCTR,17例患者接受了OCTR。TCTR组平均12天即可无限制复工,而OCTR组为33天。无论采用何种手术技术,所有患者的症状均得到缓解,且无任何并发症。虽然TCTR和OCTR均有效,但我们的数据表明,TCTR可使复工时间更短。三、
