Abstract
The presenting symptomatology and clinical findings of 464 patients with the carpal tunnel syndrome are reviewed. The results of decompression by section of the transverse carpal ligament are presented, with particular reference to the use of the Paine retinaculotome. Approximately 90% of patients achieved very satisfactory results and complications were minimal. The commonest reason for failure is incomplete division of the flexor retinaculum. The detailed procedure is presented.Keywords
