Objective: The benefits of carpal tunnel decompressive surgery (CTDS) among diabetic patients with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) were previously investigated through comparing the outcome before and after CTDS, and in comparison to nondiabetic CTS. We sought to investigate if diabetes mitigates the benefits of CTDS compared to not receiving CTDS.
Methods: In this retrospective study, we compared the risk of reporting any unfavorable outcomes among CTS patients (diabetic and nondiabetic) who underwent CTDS versus no CTDS after controlling for diabetes.
