Zusammenfassung:This study investigated the functional outcome of prophylactic carpal tunnel release during distal radial fracture fixation. A total of 60 patients undergoing anterior locking plate fixation for a distal radial fracture were randomized into two groups: one having prophylactic endoscopic carpal tunnel release and the other serving as a control. Functional outcomes were assessed using the Patient-Reported Wrist Evaluation, Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand, EuroQol 5-Dimension 5-Level questionnaire, Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire, Pain Numerical Rating Scale, grip strength and finger-to-palm distance over a 12-month period. The study found no significant differences in overall functional outcomes or complications between the groups. I.
