Overview

A case report demonstrates improved outcomes in carpal tunnel syndrome and trigger finger after combined surgery in a diabetic patient.

Key Points

  • To explore the effectiveness and safety of simultaneous surgical release for carpal tunnel syndrome and trigger finger in a patient with diabetes.
  • Case report of a 52-year-old woman with type 2 diabetes and carpal tunnel syndrome
  • Conducted nerve conduction studies to confirm median nerve compression
  • Performed open carpal tunnel release with A1 pulley release under regional anesthesia
  • Monitored postoperative recovery and outcomes at six-week follow-up
  • Complete resolution of nocturnal pain and triggering observed post-surgery
  • Progressive sensory recovery noted at six-week follow-up
  • Restoration of thumb opposition strength documented with no complications reported
