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.
