摘要
Endoscopic carpal tunnel release is a minimally invasive technique that may reduce sick leave and facilitate postoperative rehabilitation and short-term outcome. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of age as a predictor of short-term outcome in endoscopic carpal tunnel release. We did a prospective registration of patient satisfaction, symptoms and function before and 2-months after endoscopic carpal tunnel release in 101 consecutive patients aged 23-94 years and then submitted the data to multivariable logistic regression analysis. Patient age >65 years was a good predictor of a less favourable short-term outcome, and endoscopic carpal tunnel release may not be justified as a routine procedure in elderly patients.
