Getting patients back to work after carpal tunnel surgery.
This article describes the condition known as carpal tunnel syndrome and reviews a carpal tunnel service that was started in Leicester in 1999. We look at how the service has developed to meet patient needs, and how we now aim to return patients back to function and employment as quickly as possible after surgery.
