Abstract

Carpal tunnel syndrome is one of the most common problems seen by the hand surgeon. In spite of its frequent occurrence there are several aspects of its treatment that remain controversial. A survey of the members of the American Society for Surgery of the Hand determined whether a consensus exists concerning the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome among surgeons who regularly treat hand problems.
