The Influence of Pronator Teres Release in the Treatment of Median Nerve Compression Neuropathy: A Randomized Prospective Study
The investigators are comparing two standard of care procedures which can be performed at the
same time, or sequentially. The hypothesis being tested is whether simultaneous release of
both the carpal Tunnel and the Pronator Teres results in a better outcome in terms of symptom
relief and recurrence than Carpal Tunnel Release alone when signs and symptoms of both carpal
tunnel and pronator Teres syndromes are present.
