Summary of average pre-/postoperative DASH scores and subjective visual analogue scales (VAS) at 6-month follow-up. The top table (blue) illustrates the preoperative and 6 months postoperative quick DASH (q-DASH), work DASH (w-DASH), and activity DASH (a-DASH), following proximal median nerve release at the level of the lacertus fibrosus. * = significant difference (p < 0.001). The bottom table (red) illustrates the results of subjective visual analog scores (VAS) regarding persistent numbness (0 = no paresthesias, 10 = severe paresthesias); persistent pain (0 = no pain, 10 = extreme pain); and satisfaction with surgery (0 = completely dissatisfied, 10 = entirely satisfied)
