| Scientific title | |
| Study objectives | The purpose of the study will be to see whether preserving the flexor sheath during decompression of the carpal tunnel improves recovery. We believe that by trying to keep an extra piece of tissue beneath the median nerve will provide a smooth gliding surface and aid recovery in time and function. |
