Timing of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Treatment Based on Social Deprivation.

Introduction: This study sought to investigate the impact of the area deprivation index (ADI) on the treatment timeline from carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) to carpal tunnel release (CTR). We hypothesize that increased social deprivation will correlate with increased time between care milestones from presentation to surgery.

Methods: This is a retrospective review of patients diagnosed with CTS who underwent CTR at a single academic institution.

Impact of Social Deprivation on Cubital Tunnel Syndrome Treatment Timeline.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to establish the impact of area deprivation index (ADI) on treatment timelines of patients with cubital tunnel syndrome (CuTS). We hypothesize that increased social deprivation will correlate with increased time between care milestones from presentation to surgery.

Methods: This is a retrospective study of patients diagnosed with CuTS who underwent surgical intervention at a single academic institution.
