Comparative Analysis of Comorbidities and Outcomes in Endoscopic versus Open Treatment of Carpal Tunnel Release in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis
Our study found that RA and ECTR were identified as independent risk factors for revision release, with ECTR showing a higher likelihood of repeat procedures within 90 days compared with OCTR. Despite similar demographics and comorbidities in the two study cohorts, use of OCTR outpaced ECTR use in the study period. Future research should explore further characterization of repeat procedures in this higher risk patient subset.
