AI Article Synopsis
- Carpal tunnel release (CTR) is an effective treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), but diabetes may affect recovery outcomes.
- A study followed 1251 wrists over an average of 10.5 years to compare recurrence rates of CTR between diabetic and non-diabetic patients.
- Results showed no significant difference in recurrence rates: 1.24% for diabetics and 0.6% for non-diabetics, indicating similar long-term outcomes.
Article Abstract
Background: Carpal tunnel release (CTR) is considered effective in treating carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), and diabetes is considered to complicate the outcome and recovery. However, the difference in recurrence rate between diabetic and non-diabetic patients after mini-open CTR in the long-term has not yet determined.
Methods: This study enrolled 1251 wrists (1091 patients), with 841 (67%) females and 480 (33%) males at a mean age of 58.5 years at operation. Patients were followed for a mean duration of 10.5 years. We retrospectively compared the recurrence rates of the Paine retinaculotome for mini-open CTR at wrist in diabetic and non-diabetic patients.
Results: In our study, a total of 161 wrists (13%) were in the diabetic patients and 1090 wrists (87%) were in the non-diabetic patients. Two wrists (1.24%) in the diabetic group and seven (0.6%) in the non-diabetic group exhibited recurrence (p = 0.325).
Conclusion: The mini-open CTR with the Paine retinaculotome in diabetic patients didn't show significantly higher recurrence rate than that in non-diabetic patients in the long term.

Background And Aims: Acquired resistance to thyroid hormone appears to exist in the general population. We aimed to evaluate the association between indices of thyroid hormone sensitivity and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and made stratified analyses by diabetic status.
Methods: We included 26,413 participants from a health screening program and 8,246 hospitalized patients with type 2 diabetes.

Department of Orthopedics, Affiliated Kunshan Hospital of Jiangsu University, Suzhou, Jiangsu, China.
Background: The relationship between diabetes mellitus (DM) and bone mineral density (BMD) in patients with osteoporotic fractures (OPFs) remains complex and heterogeneous, specifically between the genders. This study aimed to explore the association between diabetes status and trochanteric BMD in a cohort of patients with OPFs and elucidate the differences between male and female patients.
Methods: This retrospective analysis was performed on 710 admitted patients aged 50 years or older with OPFs.
Association between HOMA2 based beta-cell function or insulin resistance and long-term outcomes in kidney transplant recipients with type 2 diabetes.

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a common comorbidity in kidney transplant recipients, representing a significant proportion of the candidate pool. Post-kidney transplantation management of T2D remains challenging, leading to inferior long-term outcomes compared to non-diabetic recipients. This study aimed to assess the association between Homeostatic Model Assessment 2 (HOMA2) derived insulin resistance and beta-cell function on kidney graft outcomes in T2D kidney transplant recipients.
