Currently there is no consensus about the best treatment option. The purpose of this prospective cohort study conducted at a single institution was to evaluate the clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction following a mini-open carpal tunnel release for idiopathic CTS.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Methods  A total of 72 patients (53 female and 19 male patients; mean age, 57.8\u00b115.3 years; range, 24\u201394 years) had a mini-open carpal tunnel release performed by a single senior surgeon between June 2015 and June 2016. The patients were evaluated preoperatively, and at 3 and 12 months post-intervention. At every follow-up, the Boston Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Questionnaire (BCTSQ) and visual analogue scale (VAS) scores for pain and satisfaction were completed. Digital sensibility (using Semmes- Weinstein monofilaments) was assessed and pinch and grip strengths were measured.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Results  Statistically significant and clinically relevant improvement was found in terms of digital sensibility, grip and pinch strength (except for 2-point pinch), BCTSQ scores and pain scores. The complication rate was minimal, and no major complications occurred. Two patients experienced recurrence. The availability of follow-up records (including patient-reported outcomes, BCTSQ and VAS scores, and the complication rate) at 1-year post-intervention varied between 69% and 74% (50\u201353 patients) depending on which parameter was assessed. Patient satisfaction was high (mean, 80.9\u00b126.0; range, 0\u2013100).<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Conclusions  This study demonstrates that mini-incision carpal tunnel release is clinically effective in the short and long term.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5999\/aps.2018.00535","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,19]],"date-time":"2019-07-19T01:00:47Z","timestamp":1563498047000},"page":"350-358","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.5999\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Effectiveness of mini-open carpal tunnel release: An outcome study"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"46","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8520-7630","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lieselotte R.","family":"van den Broeke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic, Reconstructive and Hand Surgery, Gelre Hospital, Apeldoorn, the Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2560-0315","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Willem.
