does carpal tunnel come back after surgery
Yes: Unfortunately carpal tunnel syndrome (cts) may recur in a small population of patients. This is best assessed by your md using a physical exam and a emg/ncv (needle study of your nerve /muscles) exam. The good news is that most patients do well with open carpal tunnel release surgery in the case of recurrence.ntrapment of the median nerve at the wrist is how we describe carpal tunnel. There are 8 carpal bones, but the hamate and pisiform form the ulnar side. The trapezium and scaphoid for the radial side. Flex the 3rd digit and look at the palmar hand side.
I have had four surgeries technically at this point. Cubital tunnel release on both of my arms and endoscopic carpal tunnel release on both of my wrists/hands.There have been some improvements, but I donât credit them to the surgeries as much as I do common sense, therapy and rest.
