Popis:	Between 1991 and 1996, one hundred and ten hands of eighty-six patients with carpal tunnel syndrome were treated surgically and followed (mean, twenty months; range, three to sixty months). Sixteen hands were treated with open carpal tunnel release using a conventional incision from palm to forearm, and ninety-four hands using a palm alone incision.All patients were symptomatically improved following surgery. There was no neurovascular complications. Two of sixteen hands (12.5 per cent) with the conventional incision had hypertrophic scars. In contrast, all with palm alone incision had no complaints of excess scar.Carpal tunnel release using palm alone incision is a safe and simple procedure, which is not associated with any significant neurovascular complications nor discomfort in the operative scar.
