In their article, the authors report very encouraging results from the use of a synthetic
interface in carpal tunnel revision.
1
Approximately 5% of conventional surgeries (with increased risk if performed under
endoscopy) will lead to a failure requiring a revision surgery.
2
Because of the high frequency of carpal tunnel compression, its recurrence is a common
problem in hand surgery. This leads to additional costs. However, there are no comparative
studies on the cost of the different techniques of surgical revision (but rather on
the primary indication

- PreviewScar tether after primary nerve decompression can impair physiological nerve glide and vascularity of the nerve. Revision decompression in the setting of neurostenalgia should address the scarred mesoneurium in order to prevent further entrapment and tether. This study reports on the clinical outcomes of 12 patients with neurostenalgia following carpal tunnel decompression (CTD), treated with revision CTD and a porcine submucosa extracellular matrix nerve wrap (PECM) (Axoguard® nerve protector, Axogen Inc., Alachua, FL).
