In total, 35 experts (hand surgeons\/hand therapists selected by the national member associations of their European federations and Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation physicians) participated in the Delphi consensus strategy.

The experts agreed that patients with this disorder should always receive instructions and that these instructions should be combined with another form of treatment. Instructions combined with splinting or with surgery were considered as suitable treatment options. Details on the use of instructions, splinting and surgery were described. Main factors for selecting one of the aforementioned treatment options were identified: severity and duration of the syndrome and previous treatments given. A relation between the severity\/duration and choice of therapy was indicated by the experts and reported in the guideline.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Although this disorder is less prevalent and not easy to diagnose, this guideline may contribute to better insight into and treatment of Guyon's canal syndrome.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1136\/bjsports-2013-092280","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,8,1]],"date-time":"2013-08-01T04:44:58Z","timestamp":1375332298000},"page":"1063-1070","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":30,"title":["How to treat Guyon's canal syndrome?
