Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the occurrence of multiple nerve compression syndromes in one arm, focusing on surgical treatments and identifying risk factors among patients treated between 2011 and 2021.
- - Results showed that 2.9% of patients had multiple decompressions within a year, with risk factors being severe symptoms, younger age, and smoking, while treatment outcomes for combined carpal and cubital tunnel surgeries were similar to single procedures.
- - Patients who underwent simultaneous surgeries returned to work in about 6 weeks, slightly longer than those with individual surgeries who returned in 4 weeks, suggesting that simultaneous treatment is beneficial for those with both conditions.
Purpose: To evaluate the patient-reported outcome measures of patients with primary cubital tunnel syndrome and to assess whether they are affected by preoperative symptom severity.
Methods: Patients who underwent simple decompression for primary cubital tunnel syndrome were selected from a prospectively maintained database. Outcome measurements consisted of the Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire at intake and at 3 and 6 months after surgery.
Background: There are multiple studies about the effectiveness of primary treatment in Dupuytren's disease. However, such studies concerning treatment effectiveness of recurrent disease are scarce. Therefore, the primary aim of this study was to compare treatment effectiveness of initial and repeated surgery in patients with Dupuytren's disease.
