Intraoperative findings in PTR and redo CTR*.

Operative findings in redo CTR (total 25 wrists) Operative findings in PTR (Total 20 elbows)
Reform TCL** 80% (20/25) Deep head pronator teres 90% (18/20)
Scar adhesion*** 40% (10/25) Sublimis arch 40% (8/20)
Synovitis 12% (3/25) Lacertus fibrosus 50% (10/20)
Neuroma 4% (1/25) Brachial sheath 20% (4/20)
Ligament of Struther 25% (5/20)

TCL : Transverse carpal ligament.

*

Operative findings were reported from 22 patients; 25 wrists (19 unilateral and 3 bilateral CTR), and 20 elbows (14 unilateral and 3 bilateral PTR).

**, ***

4/25 wrists (16%) with reform TCL and 6/25 wrists (24%) with scar adhesion have clear evidence of pressure effect to median nerve including disproportion of median nerve, hour-glass appearance, or tight scar around the median nerve that need external neurolysis.
