Abstract

We prospectively reviewed the healing period of 29 patients with carpal tunnel syndrome treated surgically between 1990-1994. We compared both preoperative and postoperative clinical and electrodiagnostic findings. Of these patients, 27 (92%) were female and 2 (8%) male. The mean age was 46.9 years. We performed carpal tunnel decompression for 33 hands of 29 patients. The mean follow up time was 12.2 months (3 to 41 months). In conclusion: the subjective signs of the carpal tunnel syndrome improved in a short time, but the improvement of the electrophysiological changes took more time exceeding 6 months after the carpal tunnel release.

Özet

Bu çalışmada 1990-1994 tarihleri arasında Karpal Tünel Sendromu (KTS) tanısı konularak cerrahi tedavi yapılan hastalarda postoperatif iyileşme hızı prospektif olarak incelendi. Bu amaçla olgularımızın preoperatif ve postoperatif klinik muayene ve elektronörografik (ENG) bulguları karşılaştınldı. Çalışmaya alınan 29 hastanın 33 eline KTS dekompresyon ameliyatı yapıldı. Hastalarımızın 27 (%93)'si kadın, 2 (%7)'si erkek olup ortaIama yaş 46.9 olarak bulundu. Ortalama takip süresi 12.2 (3-41 ) aydı. Olguların tamamına yakınında dekompresyon sonrası subjektif bulguların kısa sürede iyileşmesine karşın, elektrofizyolojik iyileşmenin daha geç ve özellikle 6. ay dolayında belirginleştiği görüldü.
