The purpose of this randomized controlled trial was to compare outcomes of limited open and short wrist transverse techniques in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome. In a single centre randomized controlled trial, 84 patients with idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome were randomized before surgery to limited open or short wrist transverse open carpal tunnel release. The patients were evaluated at 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 and 2 years after surgery. At every follow-up, the Brigham and Women’s Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire scores, scar discomfort, and subjective patient satisfaction were evaluated. Two years after surgery, five patients were lost to follow-up. The groups had similar Brigham and Women’s Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire Symptom Severity and Functional Status scores and subjective satisfaction scores. The incidence of scar discomfort was not significantly different between the two groups on serial postoperative follow-up. Short wrist transverse open release surgery showed similar early postoperative symptoms and subjective and functional outcomes to limited open release. Level of evidence: II

Background: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a common health problem in Bangladesh especially among women. It causes significant morbidity and reduces work output in affected patients. There are few treatment options available like oral steroid, steroid injection, UST, surgical treatment etc. Considering the cost, time and consequence of surgery, short term nonsurgical management is desirable e.g. local steroid injection in the affected limb. Therefore a comparative analysis is necessary to understand the efficacy of local steroid injection.Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of local corticosteroid injection in the treatment of idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome. Methods: 60 idiopathic CTS patients divided into two groups by randomization. One group received Inj. Triamcinolone 30 mg close to carpal tunnel and other group received oral steroids. Efficacies of treatmemt were compared in between groups.Result: The mean age of two groups were 37.5 ± 10.5 and 37.0 ± 10.24 years respectively (p = 0.272) and Majority of the patients in both treatment groups (76.7% in local steroid and 80% in oral steroid groups, p = 0.754) were female. Relief from tingling sensation and nocturnal awakening was higher in the steroid injection receivers (100% and 86.7% respectively) than that in the oral steroid receivers (6.9% and 3.4% respectively) during evaluation of outcome at the end of 3 month. End point treatment shows that none but SNAP at wrist in the local steroid group improved significantly better than that in the oral steroid group (16.2 ± 10.5 vs. 12.4 ± 6.3, p =0.039). No major side effects occurred in local steroid group except depigmentation in injected area 3 (10%) cases.Conclusion: It may be concluded that local steroid injection is an effective treatment of idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome. But long-term efficacy of steroid injection remains uncertain.Bangladesh Journal of Neuroscience 2012; Vol. 28 (1): 10-15
