Wrist Immobilization after Surgical Decompression of the Median Nerve in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: A Systematic Review.

 The most common compressive neuropathy of the upper limbs is carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Historically, there has been a tendency to apply immobilization in the postoperative period, a practice that has decreased in recent years. This review aims to assess whether there is scientific evidence to justify the use of immobilization in the postoperative care of CTS decompression.
