Pre-operatively, participants completed a Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) Questionnaire, Brigham and Women's Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire (BWCTQ), as well as grip and pinch strength and Semmes\u2013Weinstein monofilament sensation testing. At 2 weeks, 6 weeks and at least 6 months post-operatively, these measurements were repeated along with assessment of scar tenderness and pillar pain. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 20 software to perform non-parametric tests and Pearson's correlations. Significance was set at p =0.05.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>There was no statistically significant difference between the single- and two-incision CTR groups with respect to pre- and post-operative DASH scores, BWCTQ scores, grip strength, pinch strength, scar tenderness, or pillar pain. The only statistically significant difference was improved sensation by Semmes-Weinstein in the single-incision group in the second finger at 6 weeks post-operatively and in the third finger at 6 months post-operatively.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The preservation of the superficial nerves and subcutaneous tissue between the thenar and hypothenar eminences may account for reports of less scar tenderness and pillar pain among recipients of two-incision CTR compared to single-incision CTR in the early post-operative period. However, there is similar post-operative recovery and improvement in grip and pinch strength and sensation after 6+ months post-operatively.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s11552-013-9572-z","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,12,9]],"date-time":"2013-12-09T11:45:14Z","timestamp":1386589514000},"page":"36-42","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Prospective Randomized Comparison of Single-Incision and Two-Incision Carpal Tunnel Release Outcomes"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Tiffany N.","family":"Castillo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Stanford University School of Medicine, Palo Alto, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jeffrey","family":"Yao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Stanford University School of Medicine, Palo Alto, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,12,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-s11552-013-9572-z","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jhsa.2008.10.026"},{"key":"bibr2-s11552-013-9572-z","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0266-7681(93)90055-K"},{"key":"bibr3-s11552-013-9572-z","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jhsa.2010.08.027"},{"key":"bibr4-s11552-013-9572-z","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0266-7681(97)80393-2"},{"key":"bibr5-s11552-013-9572-z","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1753193408090104"},{"key":"bibr6-s11552-013-9572-z","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/jhsu.2003.50043"},{"issue":"1","key":"bibr7-s11552-013-9572-z","first-page":"33","volume":"43","author":"Jugovac I","year":"2002","journal-title":"Croat Med J."},{"key":"bibr8-s11552-013-9572-z","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5435\/00124635-200906000-00008"},{"key":"bibr9-s11552-013-9572-z","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/J.JHSB.2004.10.009"},{"key":"bibr10-s11552-013-9572-z","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2106\/00004623-199311000-00002"},{"key":"bibr11-s11552-013-9572-z","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.bjps.2005.11.018"},{"key":"bibr12-s11552-013-9572-z","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jhsa.2006.07.018"},{"key":"bibr13-s11552-013-9572-z","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/J.JHSB.2006.05.017"}],"container-title":["HAND"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1007\/s11552-013-9572-z","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1007\/s11552-013-9572-z","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1007\/s11552-013-9572-z","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,29]],"date-time":"2026-04-29T07:26:08Z","timestamp":1777447568000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1007\/s11552-013-9572-z"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2013,12,10]]},"references-count":13,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2014,3]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1007\/s11552-013-9572-z"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/s11552-013-9572-z","relation":{},"ISSN":["1558-9447","1558-9455"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1558-9447","type":"print"},{"value":"1558-9455","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2013,12,10]]}}}
