AI Article Synopsis
- * Participants were divided into two groups, one undergoing the prophylactic surgery and the other not, with various functional outcomes measured over 12 months, including wrist evaluation and grip strength.
- * The results indicated that there were no significant differences in functional outcomes or complication rates between the two groups.
Article Abstract
This study investigated the functional outcome of prophylactic carpal tunnel release during distal radial fracture fixation. A total of 60 patients undergoing anterior locking plate fixation for a distal radial fracture were randomized into two groups: one having prophylactic endoscopic carpal tunnel release and the other serving as a control. Functional outcomes were assessed using the Patient-Reported Wrist Evaluation, Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand, EuroQol 5-Dimension 5-Level questionnaire, Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire, Pain Numerical Rating Scale, grip strength and finger-to-palm distance over a 12-month period. The study found no significant differences in overall functional outcomes or complications between the groups. I.

This study assessed the effectiveness of adding leukocyte-poor platelet-rich plasma (PRP) during carpal tunnel release surgery for patients with moderate to severe carpal tunnel syndrome. In a randomized controlled trial, 70 patients were assigned to either standard carpal tunnel release (control group) or release with leukocyte-poor PRP applied to the median nerve (PRP group). Primary outcomes were measured using the Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire at 3 months, and secondary outcomes included pain, strength, sensation and electrodiagnostic examinations at multiple time points.

Visual minimally invasive acupotomy is applicable for the diseases with the pathological characteristics of soft tissue injury, including disorders of spine, four limbs and joints, peripheral nerve compression and chronic soft tissues. The diseases with superior effect obtained are cervicogenic headache, lumbar disc herniation, carpal tunnel syndrome and flexor tendon stenosing tenosynovitis. Under the guidance with ultrasound, visual minimally invasive acupotomy is advantaged at preoperative diagnosis, intraoperative guidance and postoperative evaluation in clinical practice so that it is precise, safe and reliable in clinical treatment.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of ultrasound-guided needle knife release with different pathways for carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS).
Methods: Sixty CTS patients were randomly divided into a transverse group and a longitudinal group, with 30 patients in each group. The transverse group received the needle knife release under ultrasound above and below the median nerve along the short axis, while the longitudinal group received the needle knife release under ultrasound above the median nerve along the long axis.
