The effect of comorbidities on the clinical profile and outcomes of surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome.

<b><br>Introduction:</b> The results of some studies show that predictors of less favourable outcomes of surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome might include the presence of comorbidities, such as diabetes and thyroid gland diseases. The role of these factors has not been clearly determined, but in most trials the patients burdened with comorbidities conducive to CTS are excluded from the analysis.</br> <b><br>Aim:</b> The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of concomitant diseases on the clinical profile and outcomes of surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome.
