Even after opening the carpal tunnel for median nerve compression 25 percent of patients have persistent symptoms, the so-called post-carpal tunnel syndrome. Analysis of 135 median nerve decompressions carried out for primary carpal tunnel syndrome showed flexor tenosynovitis in the flexor sheaths of the fingers and operation scarring to be the main causes. A different local pathology in the hand can also be responsible for the symptoms, and it is important to diagnose such conditions before median nerve decompression so that correction can be performed simultaneously. This is demonstrated in a series of 31 patients.
即使在为正中神经受压打开腕管之后，仍有25%的患者存在持续症状，即所谓的腕管综合征后遗症。对135例因原发性腕管综合征而进行的正中神经减压手术的分析表明，手指屈肌腱鞘的屈指腱鞘炎和手术瘢痕是主要原因。手部不同的局部病理状况也可能导致这些症状，在进行正中神经减压之前诊断出此类病症很重要，以便能同时进行矫正。31例患者的系列病例证明了这一点。
